While I normally make a Top 10 (or Bottom 10, I guess) list of the worst movies of the year, I didn’t feel like I saw enough truly terrible Hindi films in 2024 to warrant a lengthy list. I’m instead going to highlight the four most problematic 2024 releases that I watched. Here are the worst of the worst:
Fighter was easily the most disappointing movie of 2024. Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan in an action-packed Top Gun knockoff sounds like a recipe for success. Unfortunately, a jingoistic climax takes what should have been something silly and fun to a dark place.
Dibakar Banerjee tried to recreate the experience of watching a reality show, a Twitch stream, and sitting in a Zoom meeting for his anthology sequel LSD 2: Love Sex aur Dhokha 2. It’s an awkward format that is less enjoyable than doing any of the three things it mimics.
Annu Kapoor in drag could not save the dated, unfunny romantic comedy Luv Ki Arrange Marriage.
My worst movie of 2024 was admittedly one of the most entertaining that I watched all year, albeit for the wrong reasons. Horror director Vikram Bhatt went all-in on CGI for his latest, making a movie filmed almost entirely in front of a green-screen with sets and effects added in later. This isn’t unusual — one can’t exactly shoot a movie in outer space or on an alien planet — but it requires a lot of time and money to make it look convincing. Bhatt didn’t spend enough of either of those, resulting in a movie that looks cheap and weightless. His approach may be high-tech, but it doesn’t yield better results than his earlier films like Raaz or even Creature 3D. But if you want a laugh, watch my Worst Bollywood Movie of 2024: Bloody Ishq!
