Movies that disappointed us in 2019

Every year many films hit the screens. Some of them are the most awaited films of the year because they have a good star cast, they are backed by big production houses and many other reasons. In 2019 also there were film moviegoers were eagerly waiting for, but many of them failed to impress when they released.

So, today let’s look at the list of movies that disappointed us in 2019…


Kalank

The first one on the list has to be Kalank. The movie was directed by Abhishek Varman (2 States fame director), produced by Karan Johar and starred actors like Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Kunal Kemmu. The trailer and the songs of the film were damn good, but the film turned out to be a boring big-screen outing.

Student Of The Year 2

Karan Johar’s 2012 directorial Student Of The Year was a hit and had also received good reviews from the critics. After seven years, Student Of The Year 2 starring Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday, and Tara Sutaria released. The film was directed by Punit Malhotra and it was a bad film. The story of the film was boring and even the performances (apart from Ananya Panday’s performance) were disappointing.

PM Narendra Modi

When we are talking about movies that disappointed us in 2019, Omung Kumar’s PM Narendra Modi has to be on the list. The movie was so bad that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi never tweeted about it. From Kumar’s sloppy narration to Vivek Oberoi’s horrible acting, this movie had everything that made it a bad film.

Malaal

When Sanjay Leela Bhansali is producing a film we surely have high expectations from it. So, this year when we entered the theatres to watch SLB’s production venture Malaal we expected it to be a good film. But unfortunately, the movie turned out to be below average and it even failed to make a mark at the box office.

Khandaani Shafakhana

The trailer of Sonakshi Sinha starrer Khandaani Shafakhana was hilarious and even the songs were decent. But the film failed to impress us. With such a good concept in hand, filmmaker Shilpi Dasgupta failed to narrate the story in an interesting manner.

Saaho

After Baahubali franchise, Prabhas was coming on the big screen after a gap of two years with Saaho. The trailer of the film was awesome, but the movie made us feel boredom. It had good action sequences, but the long length, as well as the weak storyline, made Saaho a torturing watch.

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas

Sunny Deol’s directorial Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas is undoubtedly the worst film of 2019. The movie was a snooze fest and Karan Deol and Sahher Bambba made a disastrous debut with the film. We wonder why this film was made.

Laal Kaptaan

One film that we really thought would change the face of cinema in 2019 was Saif Ali Khan starrer Laal Kaptaan. But that didn’t happen. The trailer of Laal Kaptaan was so engaging that we were super keen to watch it. However, the film turned out to be one of the most boring films of the year with nothing great to offer apart from Saif’s fantastic performance.

Dabangg 3

Last but not the least; we have Dabangg 3 on our list. Salman Khan was coming back on the big screen as Chulbul Pandey after a gap of seven years, so the expectations from the film were quite high. But the movie turned out to be an average big-screen outing with a done and dusted storyline.

Why Karan Johar thinks Suhana Khan and Aryan Khan are paving their own way in Bollywood

Karan Johar has known Shah Rukh Khan's children, Suhana and Aryan, for years, almost like family. But in a recent chat on Raj Shamani’s podcast, the filmmaker stripped away all the glam and sentimentality to talk plainly about their journeys in the film industry. “These two are not just star kids, they’re serious about their work,” he shared.

Starting with Suhana, Karan didn’t shy away from the criticism she received after The Archies. But he pointed out that her next film King, opposite her father Shah Rukh Khan, will be a real game-changer. “People will finally see her for who she is on screen,” he said, adding that she’s put in the hours, studied the craft, and is not relying on her last name. According to him, Suhana’s work speaks for itself. He’s seen her earlier performances and believes King will prove there’s a real actor in her, one with her own voice, not just a shadow of her father.

Liam Payne’s £24 million estate goes to son Bear as pop star dies without will

When Liam Payne died in October last year, the world mourned a pop icon. But behind the public grief lay private matters that are now slowly coming to light. The 31-year-old singer passed away in Buenos Aires after falling from a hotel balcony, a tragic end that left unanswered questions not just about his final hours, but about his legacy.

One of the more surprising revelations is that Liam didn’t leave a will. Despite having an estimated fortune of £28.6 million (30.1 crore), his estate was left unplanned. After covering debts and costs, £24.3 million (25.6 crore) remains. With no legal document to guide its distribution, the court granted power of administration to his ex-partner Cheryl Tweedy, the mother of his eight-year-old son, Bear.

Diljit Dosanjh wears 130 carat emerald necklace at Met Gala inspired by the lost £20 million Patiala jewel

When Diljit Dosanjh stepped onto the Met Gala red carpet this year, he didn’t just show up in a designer outfit but walked in carrying history. Dressed in an all-white ensemble with a turban, a kirpan and a spectacular necklace layered with emeralds and diamonds, Dosanjh paid tribute to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, a name long associated with grandeur and timeless elegance.

The necklace was made in Jaipur by Golecha Jewels, who spent nearly four months crafting the piece. It wasn’t a copy of the original Patiala necklace, which vanished decades ago, but a fresh creation inspired by archival images and Dosanjh’s personality. It featured over 2,500 stones, with the emerald centrepiece weighing close to 130 carats, according to jeweller Manav Golecha.

Charli XCX to star in and produce new horror film by 'Audition' director Takashi Miike

Charli XCX is shifting gears once again, but this time into the twisted world of cult Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike. The British pop star will both star in and produce Miike’s upcoming feature, her second project under her newly launched production company, Studio365.

Known for pushing limits in cinema, Miike has built a reputation over the last three decades for his dark, genre-bending films like Audition (1999) and Ichi the Killer (2001). While the title and plot of this new collaboration haven’t been made public, Miike’s signature style mix of horror and shock suggests audiences should expect something intense. The script is being written by Ross Evans, with Yumiko Aoyagi co-writing. Evans is also behind How to Save a Marriage, which is in development with Robert Pattinson as producer.

Geraldine Viswanathan steals the spotlight in Marvel’s 'Thunderbolts' after Ayo Edebiri's exit

Geraldine Viswanathan’s path to Thunderbolts didn’t start with a blockbuster audition or a lifelong dream to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It began with oddball comedy gigs, local theatre, and stand-up sets at uni bars. From small parts in quirky Australian productions to sharing the screen with John Cena in Blockers, Viswanathan quietly built her Hollywood résumé until Marvel called.

When the offer for Thunderbolts came, she wasn’t gunning for the spotlight. In fact, she got the call while sick in bed. Director Jake Schreier pitched her the role of Mel, a sharp, loyal assistant to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s scheming Valentina Fontaine. It was a role vacated by Ayo Edebiri, and Viswanathan stepped in with zero superhero baggage.
