Mumbai: Gulzar in Kill Dil: Really now, Gulzar saab! All those who heard the lyrical ludicrousness in Kill Dil have a sincere observation: There’s a difference between “young” words and those that are plain juvenile.
Ajay Devgn/Prabhu Deva for Action Jackson: What was a two-time National Award winning actor doing in Action Jackson? And Prabhu, you were supposed to be the man with the Midas touch!
Nadira Babbar in Jai Ho: In a major embarrassment for the actress, she spent her 2½ scenes singing her beta Salman’s praises. It put Rakhee’s “Mere bete aayenge” act from Karun-Arjun to shame.
Shraddha Kapoor in Ungli: Her item song was as graceless as an elephant’s stomp. What has Dharma Productions got against Shraddha Kapoor?
Deepti Naval in Yaariyan: She, of Saath Saath, Yeh Manzil Toh Nahin and Chashme Buddoor fame reduced to playing mamma in two scenes to a non-actor in one of the worst films of the year? No way.
Priyanka Chopra in Gunday: She hammed. And then she hammed some more. Was this the stunner from Fashion, Barfi and Mary Kom?
Rati Agnihotri in The Shaukeens: The lass that three aging men lusted after in Basu Chatterjee’s Shaukeen was reduced to a simpering junior artiste in The Shaukeens.
Others who could be in 2014’s ‘Hall of Shame’:
Sohail Khan for wasting Salman in Jai Ho, Subhash Ghai (did he really make Kaanchi?), Abhay Deol (for a comeback like One By Two) and Sonam Kapoor in Khoobsurat (for thinking that good clothes can actually replace good histrionics). And as for Madame Re need we say anything beyond “Super Nani”?
