Films like the time-warped 'Ishkq in Paris' or Sajid Khan's
'Himmatwala' were expected to be duds. They shouldn't be exactly dubbed as
failures since they lived up to their promise fabulously. Same is true for
'Grand Masti' that staggered into cinema halls somehow, riding on the backs of
the now-defunct actors Vivek and Aftaab. On a personal note, it's mournful that
my namesake, who has had a pretty decent run in the industry, was a part of
that salacious so-called film.
Films like 'Besharam' and 'Ghanchakkar' were the real
disappointments since they were spearheaded by the Kapoors and Balans, and
audience has some 'real' expectations from them. But the biggest dud (the epic
fail) was 'Chennai Express'. Sure, it chugged its way past '3 Idiots'. But the
way it was marketed, people would think that SRK was offering free pizza with
cocktail. Sadly, the marketing buzz was a chimera, and he threw poop at us in
the name of an entertainer. O or maybe, even a poop would taste better.
PS- Hoping that SRK-obsessed readers don't tear me to pieces. I do
like him, but the quality of films he is churning these days make me cringe.

Oy...Chennai express was a good film. At least,compared to the other pathetic 'critical' movies, it was a fresh entertainer[totally brainless i agree] but, it was good...
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but not up to the usual SRK standards...and certainly not good enough to beat 3 Idiots :)
Deletethe moment i saw the title, chennai express was the one came into my mind lol. thou i haven't watched other films but only this one.. it was an utter disappointment :p

DeleteDidn't watch many movies this year but out of the one's that I watched my vote for the most disastrous movie of 2013 would be Chennai Express. I agree with you SRK is a superb actor but of recent, his movies are all duds.
