Like the fleeting of each day, our connection with the movies, and its megastars, is everlasting. When we are not at the movies, we like talking about them, enjoying them watching or are subconsciously under the impression of them, each in our own personal way. But, if we turn our notice to the bad ones, there are undoubtedly films, a lot of them, that flout logic.
On April Fool’s Day 2019, here is a list of films that were too well publicized for the makers’ own good, and certainly not ours.
Thugs of Hindostan (2018)
The film works on the conversant pattern of revenge-drama, trying hard to save poise by generating comedy through Aamir Khan’s Firangi Mallah. However, in totality, Thugs of Hindostan doesn’t even ponder on the prospect of offering anything new, while it criss-crosses through one inexplicable scene after the other, eloquently taking us along.
Race 3 (2018)
Want to put in trash a completely decent action-thriller charter? Ditch the creative directors and appoint Remo D’Souza. Even blowing up SUV’s could not provide the film with some appearance of amusement.
Namaste England (2018)
Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor pulled off a good one in Ishaqzaade. Not here. Not even close.
Zero (2018)
Shah Rukh Khan and Anand L Rai were probable to be a dream of an actor-director pair. It happened with Zero but the film was doing too much, when it should have done too little. L Rai, too, paid the price with this marketable venture.
Dhadak (2018)
Sairat set standards for love stories in Indian films. Sadly, Bollywood could only step up to the task with a polished remake in the form of Dhadak, which fails to capture the impression of the original film and instead becomes the disaster it tries to create.
