1) Heropanti 2

When it comes to flying kicks and gravity-defying action scenes, few can match the agility of Tiger Shroff.

However, with Heropanti 2, Tiger 'gifted' Bollywood with one of his worst films to date.

A plotless (and needless) drama, Heropanti 2 left people scratching their heads and regretting their decision to watch it in theatres.

2) Ek Villain Returns

"Who asked? I mean, who asked the 'villain' to return?"

This was a major question every individual had after watching the John Abraham-Arjun Kapoor starrer.

The 2014 Siddharth Malhotra starrer 'Ek Villain' was by no means a classic. But it wasn't something else too.

A tragedy!!

'Ek Villain Returns' is the textbook example of 'Why every movie does not need a sequel!"

3) Liger

A moment of silence for the people who watched this Vijay Deverakonda starrer in theatres. Twice for those who went to watch it again.

A highly anticipated movie, this Puri Jagannath starrer 'bingoed' on everything a movie should not be. From laughable dialogues to effortless acting, 'Liger' was a blockbuster package of severe migraine.

Sorry, Vijay! Apart from a chiseled physique, a movie needs something else and 'Liger' was anything but a movie.

4) Cuttputlli

Pronounced as 'Cuttputli' instead of 'Cuthputli' (कठपुतली), this Bollywood remake of the 2018 Tamil movie 'Ratsasan' is a lesson for 'Khiladi Kumar'.

And that lesson is-

If your career is going downhill (*cough* Prithviraj, Bachchan Pandey, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu) the remedy does not lie in the South. 

Sometimes "original" films also work!!!

5) Cirkus

The latest grand entry in the list, this Rohit Shetty-directed flick needs no description.

Watch it to 'feel' it!
