The worst hindi movies ever!

This is the toughest job of all! The pile is bigger than mount Everest, and it would take more than a life time to evaluate the worst bollywood movie ever made, and by the time you would come up with a name, there might be something new out there to beat it. Nevertheless my friends wanted me to evaluate some of the worst hindi movies of late and that also whatever my brain remembers.

Main Prem ki Diwani hoon (Rating 0/10)
If I could give a negative rating I would have, but in all fairness let me give it the best possible positive rating and that is zero. This movie stars Hrithik, Kareena and AB Junior, so you would atleast expect it to be a 5 just by the star cast. But for Suraj Bharjatya the fall seem not only downhill but more of a fall of the cliff with 90 degree gradient. The animated parrot is all that I remember now of this movie, and I thank god I could forget most of the movie. I can't believe Kareena opted out of 'Kal ho na ho' to do this movie. But good for her, as I am no big Kareena fan. But AB junior should have been more discreet unless he was out to sabotage Hrithik's career by playing a special role to convince him the movie is worth it, or more possibly he just happen to be passing by the sets and got drafted in. If you want to torture somebody chain them to the sofa and play this movie once to them..but please only once.

Musafir (1/10)
With such a brilliant star cast, this is one of those movies which is best enjoyed as a trailor, where atleast you can run your imagination wild and build a story around it. The 1.0 rating is for casting Sameera reddy in the movie.

Movies rated 1.0/10

Thoda sa meetha ho jaye
Vaada

how could you forget 'qaid mein hai bulbul'?Musafir definitely warrants maybe a 5 - sanjay dutt is quite cool in the movie. Garam Masala should most definitely be a 7 at least. Would have been an 8 had it not been been for John Abraham.

Rang De Basanti

Rating 9.5/10
Just saw this last week, as usual the wait was well worth it. A peach of a movie, great songs, especially the 'Aye Saala...Abhi Abhi.. hua yakeen...ki aaag hai.. mujhme kahin". Maybe the punjabi accent doesn't suit Amir a lot, but Amir is Amir and everything he does goes down well with me, he is in every sense the best of the best khans out there! Great work by co stars too, the movie is a bit slow paced but catches your imagination well. A treat for Amir fans..waiting for Fanah now.


p.s. I think there was a gotcha in the movie, where they plan Scott's assassination. According to history the plan was to assassinate General Dyer, but as luck would have been, captain Scott was the one who gets killed. In the movie they kind of portray that the plan is to kill Scott.
