6 duds that made to 100 crore club in 2014
Kick: Although the movie was an ensemble of most lousy script and lousier stunts (remember that stunt where cycle riding sallu’s ass barely escaped before a train hit it!), this movie somehow made some obscene amount of money. Yes people believe it or not but we contributed about 232 crores to the producers account for dishing out this only-god-knows-why blockbuster. Guess bhai’s fan following can give even superman a run for his money!
Happy New Year: Another sorry excuse for a movie that made some insane amount of profit was this SRK flick. The quantity of absurdity (deepika’s irritating accent and Srk’s ghastly blonde avatar) made the audiences cringe. And while the movie questioned the viewer’s intellect with its substandard jokes, we happily deposited 202 crores into the maker’s account.
Bang bang: This one went several notches above. The flick was a dud inspired by another super dud ‘Knight and Day’. The only USP of the movie seemed to be two awesomely gorgeous looking human beings pulling off some great on-screen chemistry. While our Desi Greek god left no opportunity to take his shirt off, Katrina did what she does best. Look clueless as always! And we happily gave away 181 crores for another movie that was a torturous rip off!
Singham returns: This flick had everything that makes up for a masala hit with Bollywood hardcore audience. Ajay Devgan managed to pull off the dialogues that every Indian secretly wants to spit in the face of those corrupt netas. Well even I know that none of has a body to go with those mouthful of words but who cares? Rohit shetty like always managed to portray a police officer as a desi-hulk who can pull out rascals from flying jeeps. So like always we ended up paying 141 crores for a predictable story, some forgettable dialogues and shetty-chhap stunts!
Jai ho: What’s with that ‘chain’ idea that sent almost everyone’s intelligence to coma? The movie was one typical Salman flick that took audience for hell of a ride and left many of them seriously demented. It reeked of some slow motion stunts, dead dialogues with his chest in our face and a message that got conveyed nowhere except we managed to laugh our asses off! Sorry Sallu but this ain’t working no more!
Holiday: We all know that a soldier’s life isn’t that exciting so making a movie on one need some exaggeration. We are okay with that after all we have sat through things like Dhoom, Krrish, Ra.One and still managed to survive. But people at least you can get your basic facts about army correct. How about the uniform badges and stars? And please none of them screams out their ID numbers in a coffee shop! If that was meant to be funny we’re sorry ‘cos it actually turned out to be an epic faceplam moment for us. Sadly we ended up giving the makers 113 crores for a movie that got the spirit of a soldier all wrong!
