15 Of The Worst Bollywood Films That You Should Avoid To Maintain Your Sanity
Have you ever watched a film that has given you an instant headache, the kind that just refuses to go no matter how many painkillers you pop? While Bollywood manages to produce a few decent films a year, there are many productions that have left us all traumatised. The worst part is that some of the worst Bollywood films are from the biggest stars of the Hindi film industry. Our blind love for the actors often drives us to the theatre only to come out with gut-wrenching regret. So, if you’re planning a movie marathon for this weekend, make sure you exclude these pain-inducing horrors. Or…just recommend them to someone you don’t like very much.
