From Bad Newz To Yudhra, Here Are The Worst Indian Films Of 2024

“In this list, we’re going to carefully deconstruct and analyze why so many of the movies this year didn’t work as expected, and what made these movies seem awful…” That’s something I would’ve said if the entries on this list weren’t absolute nonsensical grey-matter killing piles of worthless sludge.

2024, like every year before it, was rife with garbage movies. Somehow, 2024 is full of shit movies from all around the world, so the contribution is global. Though we’ll focus only on Indian films in this list, we should remember that garbage is made everywhere, including the West, all the time.

Coming back to 2024, we had some truly mind-bogglingly shit movies made this year. A lot of these shit films were ‘pan-India’ because when you’re creating fresh garbage, make sure that Indians – no matter what language they speak – can witness the rubbish with their own two eyes. These movies have showcased terrible acting, zero story, dumb plot, horrible direction, atrocious editing, and there’s plenty of them to go around.

So, let’s take a look at the absolute worst steaming pieces of trash movies made in 2024.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is overwhelmingly shit. Like, literally not one person likes this garbage movie. Because I wanna sound constructive, I’ll say that Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’s narrative was disjointed, but the truth is that there is no narrative here! The tropes are embarrassingly bad, so much so that everyone involved in the creative direction of this movie should ideally never find work in the film industry again, but that wouldn’t happen because how else will they ever top this piece of shit? A four-year–old child would’ve written and directed a better movie. I’d rather watch Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, seriously.

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha

I don’t even know what to say here, given that Neeraj Pandey has made some good movies in the past. Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha was just plain stupid, and so very pointless. It was extremely boring. I could hear crickets chirp in the theatre while watching this snoozefest. A polar opposite of A Wednesday and Baby. This movie didn’t move me in any way, and that’s kinda the whole point of films, isn’t it? Hence, it is shit.

Indian 2

Why in the hell would Kamal Haasan, as annoying off-screen as he is, say yes to this shit movie after reading the screenplay (if it had a screenplay, that is)? I suspect this movie wasn’t written at all, and the makers just, kind of, went along with whatever came into their heads on the fly. It’s an insult to the audience’s time, money, patience, and intelligence. So, if you’re someone who liked this movie, you’re probably dumber than a sack full of bricks. Congratulations.

Martin

This is a movie that was made for a reported budget of ₹150 crores. Someone read the script of this ‘movie,’ if such a document even existed, and said, “Yes, let’s make it!” And this is the same industry that is apprehensive about trying anything new or experimental because the audience might not understand it while they green-light ‘projects’ that seem to have been conceived by a person with acute brain damage. Make it make sense. Also, don’t watch this movie; you can’t get beyond 45 minutes.

Why the hell are all movies three hours long? Why!? Can someone please tell me why!? It doesn’t need to be! You’re not Kurosawa making Seven Samurai; you’re Puri Jagannadh, the guy who made Liger. Who is giving these horrible filmmakers all this money?! What is going on?

If you divided up all the money that went into making this movie starring a Sanjay Dutt who can barely move his body, and distributed it amongst five independent filmmakers, you’d end up with five profitable projects, you absolute morons. Double iSmart is so shit that writing about it is secondhand embarrassment.

Crakk

The only thing good about Crakk is the title because it is apt. It does seem like everyone involved in the making of this movie was smoking crack.

Kanguva

I don’t even really wanna talk about this zero-effort movie. It’s just shit. And subversive, but not in a good way. Also, do these people know that genres other than action exist? If not, someone needs to tell these clueless people that.

Devara: Part 1

Hey, here’s another pan-India piece of shit starring two marble statues in the lead roles. You suck, Devara: Part 1. If the world ended today, the only good thing to come out of it would be that Koratala Siva won’t make a Devara: Part 2; that’s the silver lining of the world’s total annihilation.

Bad Newz

Only a bunch of *insert politically incorrect word I cannot utter* would ever come up with the concept of Bad Newz and go, ‘Hey, yes, let’s make it!’ And let’s get some of the finest actors in the nation to play complete idiots and deliver unfunny circa 2008 SMS jokes. Stupid. Juvenile. Unnecessary.

Those involved in writing this movie shouldn’t have a career anymore, but that, obviously, will not happen because we live in a hellhole of zero consequences, where the only qualification one needs to write a movie is knowing the right person. So, let’s just wait for the next piece of shit comedy to come around.

Yudhra

Surprise! It’s another action movie! It takes special skill to make a crime-based movie that’s so full of shit. It’s like a child’s idea of how crime bosses and drug syndicates work. Also, you’re never gonna make another John Wick, so stop trying.

Who is green-lighting these projects?! This was so bad. Just bad. Not so bad that it’s good. It’s plain garbage, and more garbage, and more garbage. If you don’t believe me, see it for yourself. All the IMDb spam in the world won’t bing its rating up.
