Bollywood Flops of 2009

This year, many movies despite promising high results failed to enthuse audiences and Cineplex’s wore a deserted look. One of them was 8 x 10 Tasveer directed by acclaimed director Nagesh Kukunoor who has his credits movies like Hyderabad Blues, Dor and Iqbal. Movie even had the star presence of Akshay Kumar but despite that viewers rejected movie out rightly. Critics blame the presence of too many loopholes in the movie which was basically a thriller.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan had only one release this year and it was Billu Barber. Movie was based on Malayalam film Kadha Parayumbol and this was the first time Shahrukh and Priyadarshan had worked as a team but that too didn’t help the movie. It was too filmy and somehow the spark was missing. Despite the presence of some controversies and appealing items songs, movie sank at the box office.

The second half of the year had its hopes pinned on hit stars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena starrer Kurbaan but movie is perhaps one of the biggest flops of the year. Movie had every possible ingredient including tight script, good acting, good direction and songs and chemistry of real cum reel life couple yet movie sank without a trace. It’s hard to fathom what exactly viewers wanted.

Diwali witnessed release of three big movies in All The Best, Blue and Main Aurr Mrs Khanna. The last one mentioned had presence of bankable stars like Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Sohail Khan and yet movie was a bigger disaster than sunken Titanic. It is said that because of lack of response some theatres even had to cancel the shows. Salman experienced best of both the worlds in form of Wanted and Main Aurr Mrs Khanna. Hopefully, year 2010 will bring great news for all the bollywood fans and stars alike.


‘Radhe’ Magic Works

Did Shakespeare once say, What’s in a name? Well, unfortunately i will have to agree because here I am talking about name Radhe. This one word surely means a lot in Salman Khan’s film career. Whenever he has been found down in the dumb, this name has rescued him twice. Fans have also come to associate this name with Sallu Bhai.

If we go back to previous decade, Salman was having some amazing chemistry with the name Prem that worked so well for him in Sooraj Barjatya’s movies. Remember, Maine Pyar Kia, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and Hum Saath Saath Hain? All three were super-duper hits and all of them had Salman in lead roles with the name Prem. Quite a lucky name for him, huh? The name Prem revealed his soft side, his image of a lover boy and nedless to say, it just by chance or design but yeah, it worked for him.

Prem gave way to Radhe when he had this name in blockbuster Tere Naam. In fact, such was the popularity of that character and its hair style that even today, males can be found with characteristic middle parting hair style that Salman wore in that movie. This hairstyle is still known as Radhe Hairstyle. The interesting thing is before the release of Tere Naam, Salman was going through some torried time both personally as well as professionally. He had given string of flops including Yeh Hai Jalwa, Tumko Na Bhool Payenge, Kahin Pyar Na Ho Jaye and Chal Mere Bhai etc. Tere Naam broke the jinx and Radhe worked.

This time again, Salman was going through string of flops like Baabul, God Tussi Great Ho, Yuvraaj and Salaam-E-Ishq when Wanted happened. This movie has truck gold mines at the box office and no prizes for guessing, his name in the movie is Radhe again. Hopefully, Salman continues his successful journey with London Dreams and other movies.
