The Bollywood Report Card 2018-Pits of the 1st Quarter

Frankly the only person who needs to be questioned with regards to this film is Taapsee Pannu. For everyone else involved, this was a paid vacation and a nightmare for the audience.

Anthologies based on lives in Mumbai have always been a favorite. Remember Life In a Metro or Dhobi Ghat? 3 Storeys had tremendous potential and a great line-up of actors, but the lack of buzz around the film, killed its box-office scope.

If you only want a fat paycheck and nothing else, then Welcome To New York. Also, Sonakshi Sinha needs to hire a career counsellor, like right now.

How could Neeraj Pandey go wrong in a genre that he had mastered in the past? But then pitting a stone-faced Sidharth Malhotra against a seasoned Manoj Bajpayee was only going to result in failure.

Mukkabaaz had a promising storyline and a line-up of bankable actors. But perhaps Anurag Kashyap needs to understand that the spoilt millenial audience is not interested in plots based in rural settings.

Maybe the stars are just not in a mood to favor Saif Ali Khan. Despite him being the only bright spot in this major misfire, there was nothing redeeming about Kaalakaandi.

Compiling the pits of the first quarter of 2018 wasnt difficult considering that they were fairly predictable. Presenting the six films that have made it to the Hall of Shame.
