After about 3/4th of the movie, I was actually looking at the screen and telling Hrithik Roshan "You are the only reason I am still sitting here, or rather your attractiveness, or sexiness or whatever it is". It was a pathetic pathetic movie.<BR/><BR/>And yes, Ishq for Aamir Khan, I too kept waiting for it to improve.<BR/><BR/>Trimurthi for SRK, at that time I used to like him enough for that. I actually went for the first day, first show in Bangalore, after hours of waiting in line!<BR/><BR/>Another horrid movie I sat through was SRK's 'English Babu Desi Mem'. But by then my dislike for SRK had taken roots; did it solely coz my crazy friends wanted to watch it, so you might not put it in your tally.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829337312676210797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-78743835507118368502008-07-18T09:03:00.000-05:002008-07-18T09:03:00.000-05:00Wow, how much fun!

Aishwarya Rai is first runner-up with 5 specific mentions, then Madhuri Dixit and Akshay Kumar, with 4 each. <BR/><BR/>A special lifetime achievement Epsuggy goes to house favorite Shashi Kapoor. Although Shashi-ji had only two specific mentions (<I>Jab Jab Phool Khile</I> and <I>Atithee</I>), I suspect he's a partial cause of watching <I>Ajooba</I> and <I>Satyam Shivam Sundaram</I>. Bollyviewer's hearty and crystal-clear statement of "I have watched the largest number of bad movies for Shashi Kapoor" brought knowing, heartfelt tears to the eyes of the judges, and thus the special award is bestowed upon him. <BR/><BR/>Also of note: A. R. Rahman is the only musician to appear so far. Surely there are more pied pipers!<BR/><BR/>I'll keep the numbers going for awhile and do another tally at the end of next week. <BR/><BR/>Side note to Pien - <I>Kyon Ki</I> is the only Hindi film I've abandoned without finishing. That one was an extreme case of "cut your losses." I still love Kareena, but I don't think anything could tempt me back to that. <BR/><BR/>Also thanks to everyone for playing along, especially the first-time commenters!Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-22943960874070092872008-07-18T02:17:00.000-05:002008-07-18T02:17:00.000-05:00Ah, that would be Atithee, which my love of Shashi...Ah, that would be <A HREF="http://p-pcc.blogspot.com/2008/05/atithee-1978.html" REL="nofollow">Atithee</A>, which my love of Shashi and my dedication to the PPCC forced me to endure until the end.<BR/><BR/>I believe Atithee is known as the Death of Film.

By the way, I'm only including movies we sat all the way through--the ones we yanked out of the DVD player after 15 minutes don't count:<BR/><BR/>#5. <I>Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin</I>: Aamir Khan stalking Madhuri Dixit. <BR/>#4. <I>Karan Arjun</I>: SRK and Kajol and Kiron Kher and Ila Arun in an awful reincarnation/revenge fantasy. The presence of Salman Khan should have tipped us off...<BR/>#3. <I>Trimurti</I>: SRK and Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff and Saeed Jaffrey in another violent revenge fantasy.<BR/>#2. <I>Koyla</I>: SRK and Madhuri and Amrish Puri in an incoherent, violent mess.<BR/>#1. <I>Ishq</I>: Aamir Khan AND Juhi Chawla AND Ajay Devgan AND Kajol; we waited in vain for it to get better, and it just kept getting worse and worse.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I actually liked <I>Vivah</I> and <I>Aaja Nachle</I>, and I'm not too bothered by <I>K3G</I>, all of which made other people's most hated lists.

But, thinking about it, I realize that Aishwarya is a main offender in this area, as she's been responsible for me watching <I>Mistress of Spices</I>, part of <I>Shabd</I>, and <I>Ab Ab Laut Chalen</I>. I'm over that phase now -- though I have to admit I kind of liked that warrior movie she did with Colin Firth.<BR/><BR/>I guess I also have to add to this list my recent viewing of <I>International Crook</I>, which is so far the only time that Feroz Khan has ever let me down.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-7189459037336323982008-07-17T10:49:00.000-05:002008-07-17T10:49:00.000-05:00I've been known to watch crappy movies for the cam...I've been known to watch crappy movies for the camp value of the thing, but here are some which made me just flat out angry :D<BR/><BR/>Tashan: Akshay Kumar<BR/>Aap Ki Khatir: Akshay Khanna<BR/>Ek Rishta: Akshay Kumar<BR/>Aja Nachle: Madhuri Dixit<BR/>Jab Jab Phool Khile: Shashi<BR/>KANK: Abhishek Bacchan, RaniShweta Mehrotra Gahlawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543438271055378809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-67322137936391559292008-07-17T08:56:00.000-05:002008-07-17T08:56:00.000-05:00Oh...filmi girl reminded me of Dil Hai Tumharaa......Oh...filmi girl reminded me of <I>Dil Hai Tumharaa</I>...yeah, that is another candidate for the "God, I hope she did this for money" candidate.
