Worst Films of 2015 

After picking the best films of 2015, let’s look at the other side of the coin. There were some films which were certainly good in parts but in totality failed to impress the movie goers.

Let us know in the comments if you walked out of a film, regretted buying a ticket to any of the films from below.

Katti Batti

The title was unique and the star cast good. Even the marketing of the film was pulled out well. Apparently, Katti Batti was inspired by a few Hollywood flicks but failed miserably in its Indianized version. We see the load of the entire film on Imran Khan’s shoulder while Kangana gets little scope to show her talent. It turns out to be a very confused romantic story with a tragic cum happy end.  The duo really try to salvage the film, but their efforts go in vain, owing to a poorly written script.  Songs alone did pull us to the theater. All in all, hard luck!

Mr. X
 

The entertainment is invisible much like its lead star in the film. A very average plot sets the tone of the film with Emraan Hashmi seen as an Anti – Terrorist agent, who is trapped into killing the Chief Minister by his senior ACP Arunoday Singh, looking for a desperate promotion. The result burns Emraan into flames.  Thereafter, a sci-fi experiment helps the lead to turn invisible and plot a revenge. Not much can be said about new actress Amyra Dastur. The only saving grace are the songs.  Comparatively, Gayab of Tusshar Kapoor fame comes to mind.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon

The endless wait for a good laugh remains throughout the film. A disappointing narrative centered around weak performers, mainly with misogynist wife jokes and unreal logic.

Kapil Sharma does somewhat well with his act but the film fails to entertain.  Better luck next time, we’d say.

 Roy
 

Looking for boredom, embrace Roy. It is a procrastinated effort in story-telling. You will be left to figure out what you saw.  Arjun Rampal, is apparently facing a writer’s block as a film-maker and trying to find inspiration in Jacqueline’s character. What is real , what is make-believe no can say even after the end credits roll on the film. 

Bombay Velvet

An ambitious project which was dismissed by the audience. Bombay Velvet had a disastrous run at the box office.  Balraj ( Ranbir Kapoor) wants to be a big shot as he sees his love, Rosie ( Anushka Sharma) hanging out with wealthy men. He takes help of Khambata ( Karan Johar) a media veteran to run illegal activities in the real estate sector. Events turn for the worse, when Khambata and Johnny ( nickname of Balraj) turn foes owing to the acquisition of a  minister’s dirty picture and betrayal by his lady love Rosie.

Bombay Velvet’s sets impress but the plot becomes too predictable and slow paced.

Shaandaar

Two insomniacs and a dream destination wedding  do not provide much to save a  well marketed ‘Shaandaar.’ The romance is missing, references to a fairy tale life seem unreal.

A wedding is arranged for one family to benefit financially while a real love blossoms between the bride’s sister ( Alia Bhatt) and the wedding planner JJ ( Shahid Kapoor).

Taking potshots at heavy duty weddings is all Shandaar offers. Not entirely warm. This one doesn’t give back much to the audience

So with this we’ll end 2015 and look forward to a great run of films in 2016.
