There are movies we loved as kids, like loved LOVED! We loved these beauties so much, we’d fight with the people who didn’t share our same passion and obsession for these movies. Not that the situation has improved a lot… I mean, have you seen some of the topics people have Twitter wars on? Anyway, here’s my list of the movies I really liked as a kid but cannot really stand to watch it now. Feel free to add your choices below, but please keep in mind this is my opinion only 🙂
1) Hum Saath Saath Hain
Where do I start from? Alok Nath being useless, Reema Lagoo trying to pull off the ‘rich socialite insecure wife‘ but failing miserably or the lead actors who have more song lines than dialogues to act out. Hum Saath Saath Hain makes me cry whenever I see it. And you know who is REALLY responsible for my tears?
This guy.
So yea, Hum Saath Saath Hain was quite lame take on the epic Ramayan and I really hope we see better versions of stepmothers banishing the eldest child from taking all that moneyyyy. Also I have a lot of jokes on Mohnish Behl‘s hand but I won’t get there.
2) Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai
Really don’t know why Amisha Patel got so many chances to have a Bollywood career when she showed her ability to annoy with her first movie itself. Also, the net shirt, the dance steps, the stalking of Sonia done by the second-half Hrithik (named: Raj, big surprise) was extremely creepy and so was Sonia’s annoying cousin who kept her calling her SAUNYA. What’s with the Indians living in New Zealand in this movie? I always thought people who lived there were cool and obsessed with Lord Of The Rings and sheep. That’s it!
3) Dil
Dil was everything shady… like, extremely shady. Before Aamir and Madhuri fall in love, elope, separate and then come back together, there’s this whole Chuck and Blair-isque game they’d play with each other, back in college. And these weren’t fun, cute and adorable; these games were nasty. Madhuri tricked him to go to a girl’s bedroom instead of his own and he retaliates by threatening to rape her! Ouch.
4) Mohabbatein
Save for the powerplay between Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, there is NOTHING in this movie worth the 3 hours we spent watching it. The newcomers are so annoying; I hoped they’d die alone (and I really don’t wish that for my worst enemy). Most of the songs had 3 paragraphs each and most of the stories made me yawn. Mohabbatein was so boring, even Aishwarya Rai had to kill herself to get out of it.
5) Judwaa
Lol, Judwaa was such a crazy little movie with such crazy little quirks! The worst of all was the inherent need of the ‘tapori‘ Salman to spank Karishma Kapoor‘s butt whenever he sees it. This sadly also forces his ‘decent‘ twin brother to try and spank Rambha‘s butt because that’s what brothers do.
Basically, Judwaa is funny in parts but now most of the jokes are frankly quite cringeworthy. Except the song ‘tan tana tan tan tara‘, that stuff is gold!
Honourable mention:
Hum Aapke Hain Koun
I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Actually I’m not but because of the hate I might get, I shall not elaborate. #KThanksBye.
