Most disappointing Bollywood films in the First Half of 2015

Tevar (January 2015): Superman Salman ka fan Arjun Kapoor started off the year for Bollywood with Tevar. It was a remake of a cult South Indian film and the director Amit Ravindernath Sharma tried to put his own stamp into Tevar but unfortunately, the film turned out to be too long and boring for the general audience. It wasn’t too bad a film, but the negativity for the genre, sealed the fate of Tevar in its first weekend itself.

Shamitabh (February 2015): An R Balki film starring Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush about a mute man who becomes a huge superstar with the help of someone else’s voice. Darn, the premise and concept of Shamitabh held so much promise, but sadly the film fell flat with its jargon of prolonged soliloquies. Again, it wasn’t a bad film but it suffered because of the weight of expectations attached to it.

Roy: Roy cannot be called a disappointing film because we hardly had any expectations from it. Pre-release there were murmurs in the inner circles about the quality of the film. However, it turned out to be even worse than we had expected. It was the worst snoozefest of a film Bollywood has made in a long long time. Nothing worked for Roy, except for Sooraj Dooba Hain, Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan and a stunningly beautiful Jacqueline Fernandez.

Mr. X: Emraan Hashmi’s bad patch continued with this Vikram Bhatt directed Sci-fii film. Mr X tried to evoke memories of the classic Mr. India by giving it a modern twist and the makers seemed subtly confident about the fate of the film. But unfortunately, it turned out to be a mess with some of the shoddiest visual effects work we have seen in the last few years.

Bombay Velvet: The biggest money loser and the biggest disaster of Hindi cinema of all time. Why would anyone in their right senses invest more than Rs 100 crore on a film like Bombay Velvet, directed by Anurag Kashyap, is beyond us. The burgeoning budget talk, and the delays had lowered our expectations but we didn’t think Kashyap could make an illogical, stupid film. Alas, Bombay Velvet turned out to be just that. It was the most non-Kashyapy Anurag Kashyap film when all we needed was the typical Anurag Kashyap flair to spruce things up!

Hamari Adhuri Kahani: Oh, what a disappointment. Mohit Suri who could do no wrong finally went wrong with this overtly melodramatic sappy excuse of a film. We expected a well acted, well rounded and entertaining film but it only turned out to be half-well acted and not at all entertaining unless Vidya Balan’s stream of tears from her eyes is your definition of entertainment. The narration was sloppy and couldn’t do anything to raise the quality of Hamari Adhuri Kahani, even though the basic premise of the film was a truly promising one. Both Emraan and Vidya deserved a better film, considering their acting talent!

As with every year, 2015 has had its share of damp squibs. If you have watched any of these films, tell us which Hindi film from the first half of 2015 disappointed you the most.

When you’re at it, also let us know what was the worst film of the year so far according to you! Do note that there a difference between ‘Disappointing’ (meaning big films that were expected to be good) and ‘Worst’ (Unwatchable). The poll below is about the ‘Worst’ film in the first half of 2015.

  • This list will be updated this Eid for sure! but till then Roy and Ek Paheli Leela remain the worst according to me!

  • My Pick

    1. Bombay Velvet
    2. Roy
    3. Gabbar Is Back
    4. Baby

    R.I.P. Ranbir Kapoor & Akshay Kumar

    Can’t believe it that Kangna & Varun are bigger star than Ranbir & Akshay now. Akshay & Ranbir are in same league. Both are struggling for one clean hit. Shame their fans.

  • Indicine should also add Baby & Gabbar Is back in worst film in the first half of 2015. Disappointing.

  • Realy disappointed with MR.X emraan hashmi movie . I thought that it had a good songs . Movie but nothing happen

  • Without any doubt it has to be ‘BV’.. i had a lot of expectations from the movie boz of the director but it disappointed me to the core.. but it’s okey i don’t need to be worried as ‘BV’ record will be broken by Bhojpuri Bhaijaan’s starrer ‘Nawazudin Bhaijaan’.. after giving a great movies like Kabul Express & new york, was expecting alot from ‘ETT’ too but it disappointed me same like BV now without any doubt ‘Nawazudin Bhaijaan’ will break the record of that but in terms of giving more headache…

    Kabir Khan gives movies according to the actors.. If the actors are good he’ll make a great movies like new-york & Kabul Express with them & if the actor is Bhojpuri Motu he’ll make a movies like ETT and nawazudin Bhaijaan… and you will see the huge difference between Kabir’s upcoming 2 movies Nawazudin Bhaijaan & phantom.. one will be epic like kabul-Express & new-york & other one will be as crap as ETT, may be more…

  • sss, gadhe keep quiet. Salman Khan ke bare me ulta seedha comment karne se Koyla Khan ko highest grosser nahi milgee. Usko bol dhang ki movie banaye aur bakre ki tarah haklana band kare, already aamir usee ek tag de chuka hai. Concentrate on good movies not like Dilwale, Raees & Fan. All of his movies, HNY, JTHJ, Raone, Don2 & Billu are underperform except CE. Gadhee is kadwe satya ko sweikar kar.

  • I don’t know what this poll is exactly about. Bombay velvet should surely be the most disappointing film of the first half of 2015, because people had expectations from that film. It was Anurag kashyap’s next biggie after GOW series.

    The title of this article says, “most disappointing” films while the poll is about worst films. There are many crap films in this list.

    My vote goes to., Holy Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji “insaan’s” legendary comedy MSG. It is comparable to Mithun Da’s Gunda. Epic film of the centenary!

  • @nipun I thought you are akki and HR fan like your companion @babaji as both of you support each other. why this sudden change?

  • Bombay velvet deserves to be top the list haha.

    @nipun BV better than Gabbar?
    U must be joking.

    @indicine Please conduct Best movies poll and include hak.

  • @SSS a fan of ratoon one star and crappy halloween party should not talk about IQ as it sounds like such a joke that hitler’s fan gives so called statutory lecture about non vilolence or so. please don’t insult the word IQ by your comment as Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PRDP are expected to be far better than varunwaale kriti ko le jaayenge. BTW even talaash and jai ho were far better than logic less craps like ratoon point one, dogiji 2, kab tak hai complain, rohit express and crappy halloween year.

  • HAK was a cult … it had mind blowing performances … dnt knw why u ppl bias it and support d movies of star kids .. ppl those who have watchd d movie loved a lot

  • Our Navin Dadaji is telling Baby was disappointing … ha ha ha
    Perhaps he expected some Bhojpuri dhisum-dhisum and Tapori jokes from that movie , but surely did not get it !

  • Haha look at lootera nipun, BV still i haven’t watch cause didn’t buy DVD. BV win this poll because of Asambudda. I will find the dvd of BV. Ranbir movie means never skip one.

  • Suzzane left hrithik coz she didnt like box office manipulation by roshans. Also she hated kites, krrish 3 (worst film of 2013) and bong bong (worst film of 2014)

  • @babaji why are you angry bro? as everyone rate the movie according to the script and the acting of the actor. It is not that the movie u liked i will like it. It is his opinion. If you do not like to here bad against akki than you can bash indicine as it is he who conducted the poll that which movie is bad and which good and other blah blah blah poll. I rate the performance of actor according to their acting ability, that is for Salman i will give 4* for his acting in tere naam and for Srk i will give 4* for cdi, for other actor also i do the same thing, i do not compare them with other star, i compare them with their previous movie of them that how they had performed that is why the last movie which i liked very much of srk was cdi(as i haven’t watched mnik and don-2) and for salman it was tere naam that i loved and wanted that i like which i will rate 3.5*.

  • @Gobar: what if Suzzane hates hrithik? Many girls are crazy for Hrithik for his Greek god looks.. Also, see! Hrithik’s bad films like Bang Bang are doing 180 crores at BO unlike Gobar boy’s ones who are struggling to do 100 crores.. Lol.. If Hrithik does 1 Crap in 14 years, Kumar does 2 craps in one Year. Lol..

  • Jadoo Boy did 2 craps in 2010 ie Non Flying Kites and Nosquito Anguish but the manipulative critiK once again has manipulated the facts to ludicrously say “1 crap in 14 years’…!

  • @Nipun, entertainment movie better than all HR movie. Biggest manipulated movie are K3 and Bong bpung.

  • @nipun Girls want to marry hrithik so what. Girls also want to marry salman. but it hrithik will remain a cheap box office manipulator. hrithik’s guzarish was a big disaster. even joker did more than guzarish.
    You know
    most macho actor- Akshay
    Also his films have done more than 2000 cr. akshay gave 4 hits in 2007 alone. while your papa boy has less than 8 hits in his whole career rofl.

  • @Nipun, all hr movie are crap and irritation expect KNPH,KMG and ZNMD. TOO MUCH FUN…, Greek street boy doing double movie in 5 year.

  • Our thullu carrier is again showing his chameleonism traits by being super hypocritical…! The village idiot wrong number giving perverted babuji doesnt watch his joker boys maha craps like joker, k786, boss, entertainment, desi boyz, ouatimd etc etc bcoz he knows there are worst than the worst of bhojpori cinema c rated crapfests yet he can call other stars movies craps- first old man watch your stars crappy movies n then proceed to jump in a well due to utter shame…

  • Worst Reviews of 2015-

    1- Nipun Kumar for BV (arrived 1 wk late die to his kindergarten exams taking place)

    2- Nipun Kumar for Baby (arrived 2 weeks late due to nipun having to change baby nipuns nappy)

    3- Nipun Kumar for DDD (arrived 2 days early so finally Majeev Rasand must have paid him to write something manipulated enough to support the crap)

    4- Nipun Kumar for Tevar (arrived on time but just like the movie the review lacked any tevar n was just a hapless nonsensical review)

    5- Nipun Kumar for TWMR (arrived next day but sadly the stupid imbecile downloaded the first movie and reviewed that instead- just about sums up this failed not so smart wannabe stricy critiK…)

  • @gabbar

    You wrong coz she left him coz she couldnt stand his epic shivering anymore around the household…

  • Oh come on guyz,BV is the most disappointed film of the year not the worst film!!!!! If this poll is about worst film,then gabbar is back should added in place BV.akki gives a good movie once in a 2-3 year that also if director is good/best.so expecting sensible movies from akki,after all he is the joker Bollywood.so don’t take him seriously,now a days his actions also seems like joke to me,ROFL.

    Look at hypocrite @babaji ka ullu is supporting worst films like gobar when before some days he was giving speech to THE SRKIANS for choosing CE over masala movie 3i.my suggestion to him Bollywood is has very few genuine films like JTHJ,DON2,HAIDER,OMG,BARFI,ZNMD,SP26 (note:considering big budget movies) now a days ,so if you couldn’t support these films rather will choose craps like pk /rowdy akki/bang bang/gabbar,then no one could be the dumbest like you and bhojpuris.

    @mein nipun,who the idiot you’re I don’t know may be our complan dadaji of indicine.FIZA is the best movie of hrithik considering his lifetime performance till now and my favourite hrithik roshan movies too.so better you kindly keep busy yourselves of watching bhojpuri craps more and more and stay away from such immense genuine lifetime best performances like FIZA.

    @eric,as usual ranting started.OK if we agree to your thinking as all those films are craps but still you couldn’t give a single reason behind that.that’s called hypocrisy you chotutard.by simply watching bhojpuri craps like kick,pk you simply can’t let down other’s great movies by couldn’t give a single reason behind that.

    At least WE SRKIANS are agreeing RA ONE,HNY are not good movies but better than all bhojpuri movies of salman,amir’s ghajini,talash,dhoom3,pk.but you’re not ready to agree your star’s bhojpuri films of sslamn,and craps like unpredictable ghosts of red light are special movie the-laash,detergent expert dhobi ghat,mahacrap of millennium doom3,or undrunken alcoholic crapiest film of century pk(humshakals-3).and it’s better
    Bhojpuri salmir fans should stay away of giving speech about logic,because they are born illogical brainless oxymorons,ROFL.

    How people must ask,salman’s films are always liking those film in which villains/goons must be ayay in air rather than on ground floor and bhai should blow 15 goons at a time with one punch.bhai should dance like tapori on roadside or has to drag heroine’s skirt with his mouth.and the film must have bhai’s 2rs sadakchap tapori dialogues and non acting with some illogical sequences.otherwise salamn films will not satisfied and will say those films are crap.

    About amoor’s illogical mindless fans,if they couldn’t see any mythological incident in the film then those films are not so called ‘quality’ movies for them. They have to see some mythological appearances like ghosts in the-laash,or some aliens in peekay or rikshaw fights with stick in craps of milenium doom 3.they don’t have to think about logic and reality when it comes to film ,if they couldn’t see ghost,alien,stml patient(ghajini) doing miracles,riksawla flying stick fight in doom 3,terrorists are comparing with Freedom Fighter in rdb.if these illogical sequences are missing in any film then those films are quality less films according them 1st our perfaketionist has to understand the meaning of ‘quality’ then might he could make understand his fans about it’s meaning.

    So when it comes to Logic/Reality better you should stay awake from our salmir’s brainless ,mindless 2rs film watchers,ROFL.
