These are The Godfathers, the Citizen Kanes and the Sholay’s of bad movies. Everything about them is wrong and in theory, they should’ve never been made. But these are some of our guilty pleasures we tend to enjoy with our bros over a case of beer. Here’s a list of Bollywood movies which are so bad, they’re good.
Gunda (1998)
You know it’s gonna be an awesome movie when every bad guy comes up on the screen with a one-liner to introduce himself.
Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002)
Jaani Dushman is a legend. Those Hollywood grade special effects, DUDE! It’s a classic. Did I mention it stars Sonu Nigam?
Aap Ka Suroor (2007)
It stars Hansika Motwani, the child artist from Koi Mil Gaya, opposite the sensation himself, Himesh Reshammiya. And no, you’re not supposed to ask how did those three Autowallas get to Germany
RGV ki Aag (2007)
After Satya, Jungle, and Company, RGV gave us this masterpiece. The film invokes many emotions in you, anger being one of them!
Deshdrohi (2008)
Did you really think KRK would not be on this list? Come on, he gave us an iconic patriot to root for.
Main Prem ki Diwani Hoon (2003)
An out and out classic, the film is enjoyable for its Nativity and sweetness. You can’t go wrong with the Barjatias.
Gopi Kishan (1994)
I’ll admit it. The movie… used to be funny when I was a child. Not to forget the kid in the film, with his shrieky voice constantly going “Mere do-do baap.”
Prem Aggan (1998)
The film gave me a Haseen Dard I never wanted to have! The sexual innuendos and metaphors are plenty.
Hum Tumhare hain Sanam (2002)
Get a load of this. The film stars Shar Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai. Even at their worst, they still delivered a re-watchable classic.
Himmatwala (2013)
I still don’t get it if it was a remake or a parody. Either way, when it’s on, I just can’t take me off it.
Veerana (1988)
Though the Ramsay Brothers deserve a list of their own, special mention goes to their best worst work so far!
Pyaare Mohan (2006)
The film stars Vevek Oberoi and Fardeen Khan. Nuff said!
Jo Bole So Nihaal (2005)
Sunny Deol, a Punjab Police constable, is asked for by the FBI in order to catch an international terrorist because he is the only person in the world who has seen his face. Ridiculous? Absolutely not, it’s genius.
Awaara Paagal Deewana (2002)
The film is a masterclass on rip-offs. The story is borrowed from The Whole Nine Yards, the action sequences from The Matrix and the music from all around the world. An enjoyable watch though.
Chandra Mukhi (1993)
Okay, get this. Chandra Mukhi is an angel who lands on Earth in search of her magic wand. She must get it before a devil named Dhola lays his hands on it. In the middle of all of this, there’s Salman bhai.
16 December (2002)
“Dulhan Ki Bidaai Ka Waqt Badalna Hai” If you remember this quote, bro’s fist! It was by far the best movie of 2002.
