The year of 2015 was bitter sweet for Indian cinema. If you are looking for sweet, head over here- where we outline the best of Bollywood in 2015. For the bitter (and the absurdly funny) — here is what needs to be forgotten, swept under the rug and buried deep never to be resurrected again. As much as loved some phenomenal films like Masaan, 2015 also gave us some duds.





The worst of 2015 in Bollywood was represented by the same themes of love, politics, one of our favorite actors, and one popular actor who has had a less than stellar year at the box office.

So without much ado, below is the list of the worst films Bollywood had to offer in 2015 with their Sahi Scores based on critic reviews..

#10

Ab Tak Chappan 2

Ab Tak Chappan 2 (10%): Nana Patekar. What have you done? We loved you. Still do. You are of a kind. But why take a classic original and destroy itbeyond redemption in this terrible sequel? The film was a disappointment, because we sorely wanted to see Nana be the badass cop we saw in the original.

#9

Hamari Adhuri Kahani

Hamari Adhuri Kahani (9%): How the mighty have fallen. We had huge hopes from the stellar Vidya Balan and Rajkumar Rao. Emraan Hashmi is having a terrible year (see Mr. X). Hamari Adhuri Kahani is Mohit Suri’s worst film. Skip please. We have to agree with Lokesh Dharmani from Masala, that, “There is a lot of pain in the movie. So much pain that I felt it. In my head. The kind of pain that the entire strip of Panadol won’t be able to fix. My temples are still pounding”

#8

Katti Batti

Katti Batti (8%): At least Kangana Ranaut gave us the splendid Tanu Wed Manu Returns. We can’t say the same about Imran Khan. We actually haven’t seen him around that often over the last few years. Katti Batti is fairly bland. Shishir Gautam from Nowrunning says, “Nikhil Advani sticks to a tried and exhausted route, yet getting it completely wrong”

#7

Bhaag Johnny Bhaag

Bhaag Johnny Bhaag (7%): Isn’t Kunal Khemu too young to be written off? Maybe he peaked too early with the brilliant Zakhm. Maybe not. But Bhaag Johnny Bhaag made us run away from the cinema. Take Surbhi Redkar’s advice from Koi Moi when she says, “The mediocre content is not worth your time and money”

#6

Jai Ho Democracy (0%): Another sleazy movie about politics (see #3 on the list). Om Puri again shows up for a paycheck. Martin D’Souza from Glam Sham is spot on in his assessmment, “Jai Ho Democracy was meant to show the farcical side of politics. It turns out being a farce!”

#5

Wedding Pullav (0%): What? Who? Why? Enough said.

#4

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai (0%): Well, there is Sunny Leone. That name is enough to lure plenty of folks to the cinema’s for (maybe?) disappointing soft-core images. And yeah, you have Ram Kapoor embarrassing himself. Must be a decent payday. Read Sonil Dedhia’s review on Rediff, where he summarizes, “ If you’re into bikinis and Gujju stereotypes, you might want to catch the weekend show of Kuch Kuch Locha Hai”

#3

Dirty Politics

Dirty Politics (0%): Sadly, the Mallika Sherawat charm is long past its expiry date. Jackie Shroff and Om Puri show up for a paycheck, as these talented actors often do. And we forgot, KC Bokadia was still making films. No, thanks. Saibal Chatterjee from NDTV aprtly summarizes it, “In other words, Dirty Politics is just plain bad. Give it a miss and put your Holi weekend to holier use.”

#2

Kaagaz Ke Fools

Kaagaz Ke Fools (0%): Don’t get us wrong, we love Vinay Pathak. The man is incredibly talented. But Kaagaz Ke Fools was an embarrassment. This movie shouldn’t exist. At all. We completely agree with Rachit Gupta of Filmfare when he says, “Amateur, dull and utterly pointless”

#1

MSG -2: The Messenger

MSG-2 The Messenger (0%): This is bizarre. Beyond belief. Words can’t do justice. We are not even sure what can we write about it. One thing we know, some critics had very strong reactions to the film, like the one at Bollywood Life, who summed it as “If you are made to choose between Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s film and death, pick death!”

Dis-Honorable Mentions: At SahiNahi we track the worst and best films by year based on critic scores. The complete list for 2015 can be found here.Some films that barely missed the cut for top 10 include: Crazy Cukkad Family, Uvaa, Hate Story 3 and Mr. X
