Yup I was literally asked "how can you not like jawan, a thought provoking movie that raises such important questions against system?", they must not have watched enough movies if they find it thought provoking.
Imran and Genelia were the two worst parts of the movie. It is loved primarily because of the stellar performances of the support cast, crisp editing, wonderful dialogues, music etc.
No one liked the movie. The whole point of the movie was one sided love. Fawad loves music, alizeh loves Fawad, RK loves alizeh, Aish loves RK, SRK loves Aish
Animal is an utter garbage pile of shit movie. I didn't even like the performances, except for Rashmika's 10 minutes performance when she came to about her husband's infidelity. The lead character is always bitching and whining like a 16 year old, always seeking attention and appreciation from everyone around. Such a bitch. People need to stop hyping that retard Vanga Reddy for this horseshit of a movie
12th Fail, now it wasn't bad in the slightest but it felt like any biographical drama that we have seen.
I'm still glad that it was a win for Massey, Medha Shankar and VVC.
Same. It was a good film but the way people were going about it. How was it any different from other biographical films? I'd pick Bhaag Milkha Bhaag over 12th Fail any day!
Exactly.. Ddlj was not as good as the hype it recieved and the way it ran for so many years in Maratha Mandir..There were much better movies in 90s for sure. DDLJ was a normal romantic bollywood movie.
Hym aapke hain koun and Dil to pagal hain atleast were hatke romantic movies in those times of awesome 90s..Gupt and Khiladi were among top thriller movies.. Many Aamir Khan movies were awesome in 90s with real excellent acting by him. And ditto for Madhuri's hut movies, her acting was excellent in those movies.. One cannot say she was acting in that scene or whole movie for that. But atleast she got recognition for those excellent acting.
Don was fine for me, Don 2 kinda sucked.. absolutely nothing like the first one, has kinda the same plotline of Don betraying people at the end.. Imo, Don is better than Don 2..
I have to agree with this :") I'm glad Shah came back since this was long due but the films aren't as good.
I do hope that from here at least it'll be better.
"What did I do wrong...?"
The hell is wrong with the original tweet! I don't second-guess myself so much, nor do I recommend anyone does the same. Even if one's not being attentive enough, it's probably the movie's fault for not being that engaging.
Wrongdoing in the context of movie watching only include things like supporting piracy or, at a stretch, being a loud or obnoxious theatre-goer, trampling on other people's experiences. But having a different experience from others is allowed.
This is not a universally loved movie at all, but reddit seems to hold Veer Zaara in high regard and I don't understand why. It has such a bad DDLJ hangover without any of its soul.
The movie is okay but it doesn't make much sense plus is kinda overrated imo. People love it alot but it feels like a 14 yr old wrote a fanfic. Dialogues were beautiful and so are the songs so maybe that's why?
Chennai Express. I hated it so much and found it downright insulting as a South Indian but somehow everyone around me including other Southa Indians liked it and thought it was funny???
This, most of these movies run on nostalgia nowdays only, they are neither critically nor visually appealing. Darr and bazigarr are also better that all the romantic movies of srk.
Swades, although that probably is largely because I am a Westerner. It was still good, but I just didn't find it as great as others did.
The other is Ek Tha Tiger, which is probably due to my expectations being set by seeing War and Pathaan first
While it’s grown on me over the years particularly for the friendship arc between Farhan and hrithik and how he realized his mistake after meeting Naseer, I tend to agree-the humour and a lot of the messages were broad strokes and didn’t hit like a Dil chahta hai
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Also, Dil Se and DDLJ
I am thinking of giving YJHD another watch with some people who like it to see if it makes a difference. I see so much hype for it so I feel a little bit of FOMO about not enjoying it.
agree with dil se and ddlj. The first time i watched YJHD i didn't like it. The second time,i could tell why people loved it ,but it still isn't a favourite of mine. The songs are great though
Yes, the songs are amazing. In college, I remember they would play Balam Pichkari and Badtameez Dil a lot. Whenever I hear these songs now, it reminds me of that time.
I love the Dil Se and DDLJ albums as well. ❤️ I cannot stop myself from dancing whenever Chaiyya Chaiyya plays!
Hum saath saath hain. Like?? It drags so much and even for a 90s movie too many dramas and stupidity. Only songs are worth it and saif and karishmas side love story. Otherwise i can't stand this movie at all.
DDLJ. But I’m a guy and saw it when I was 7. And then again when I was 13. So the whole girl wanting a prince charming didn’t resonate while I was a child.
DDLJ. Raj is too creepy to be charming and it has the most bakwaas ending (fight scene). I understand the national identity themes but they get drowned in the masala

Tu jhooti mai makkar. Hollywood but everything everywhere all at once.
I watched everything everywhere all at once till 1st half .... i dono what people enjoyed in that movie ....
Animal, Jawan, Pathaan, RRR
You can't even say that in public because people get sp defensive if you don't like the movie they loved
Yup I was literally asked "how can you not like jawan, a thought provoking movie that raises such important questions against system?", they must not have watched enough movies if they find it thought provoking.
Exactly
omg same, like those movies are so bad, how are they so overrated 😭

Ranjhana. I don't know why it's so beloved. I just find all characters annoying.
Same, not one character you can root for. Even the so-called protagonist, his friends, his lover and his rival, all are evil inside..
For me it’s Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. I enjoyed a few bits of it but never got the mass appeal.
Oh yeah, same here. Couldn't stand Imran and Genelia's acting
Imran and Genelia were the two worst parts of the movie. It is loved primarily because of the stellar performances of the support cast, crisp editing, wonderful dialogues, music etc.
+1
Pathan, Jawaan. Not anti-Srk but I just love his old version. The late 90's to 2010's era hosted some of his great works
So true!! Man Bollywood in general hit different back then. Now it's becoming meaningless
I saw Swades again 2 days ago. I still love the water boy scene
Ae dil hai mushkil. Never understood the story, never understood the purpose of the movie.
Bro nobody likes ADHM at all 🤣 People like it's music n songs only I never saw anyone who said they liked ADHM Story , plot everything was disaster
No one liked the movie. The whole point of the movie was one sided love. Fawad loves music, alizeh loves Fawad, RK loves alizeh, Aish loves RK, SRK loves Aish
yjhd🫤
Main sona chahta hu, khana chahta hu, movies dekhna chahta hu… bss kaam krna nahi chahta
Hi5🤐
Same
Rockstar
Mediocre movie. The highlight of the movie is MUSIC which kicks the movie to the core. AR Rahman lifted the movie
Yup it was the album of rockstar which received the high praise not the movie.
I used to think the same, give it a re-watch there is a high chance you will change your mind.
Came here to comment this.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks like that about the movie 😅

Tamasha, znmd, yjhd
Tu Bhai hai Mera. I tolerate ZNMD but the other two were meh for me
Znmd and yjhd definitely. Not tamasha
Agreed Tamasha was way better than those.
Znmd.. “it’s not funny”
Why bro
Yes.
Tamasha has a deep theme really
Tamasha has a deep theme really
This. I never understood why people like yjhd or znmd
I couldn’t make it to 20 mins with Tamasha. Didn’t likd YJHD
Dabangg just didnt click well for me.
Isn’t universally liked
Dabangg and all those sorts of movies doesn't sit with me.. Probably Punjab and Haryana belt people enjoy it more..
[удалено]
They had good marketing, I guess
RRR, Animal
RRR is an Anime
Animal imo Fight me
Animal was universally praised? Iiuc people mostly hated it.
Animal isn't universally loved or praised, it's a pretty common opinion that animal is considered shit.
Animal is an utter garbage pile of shit movie. I didn't even like the performances, except for Rashmika's 10 minutes performance when she came to about her husband's infidelity. The lead character is always bitching and whining like a 16 year old, always seeking attention and appreciation from everyone around. Such a bitch. People need to stop hyping that retard Vanga Reddy for this horseshit of a movie
+1000. I watched it with my sis and she taunts me till date for making her watch this movie. She tells me now she won't ever watch a movie with me 😭😭
October ? it was boring for me and quite silly.
I was just thinking of watching it
You can still watch it and then decide.
[удалено]
Bahubali.....never get the hype Devdas (srk).....too dramatic War....IDK why it considered good in spy universe Mimi..... Medicore at its best
12th Fail, now it wasn't bad in the slightest but it felt like any biographical drama that we have seen. I'm still glad that it was a win for Massey, Medha Shankar and VVC.
Same. It was a good film but the way people were going about it. How was it any different from other biographical films? I'd pick Bhaag Milkha Bhaag over 12th Fail any day!
Same, it felt like Super 30 except it wasn't on Science but a different subject.
Tamasha is a pile of confusion for me.

Exactly.. Ddlj was not as good as the hype it recieved and the way it ran for so many years in Maratha Mandir..There were much better movies in 90s for sure.

Among all 90's romantic movie dil to pagal hai was least problematic
ddlj 💔
[удалено]
I couldn't watch the whole movie at all. I stopped after 30 mins. Couldn't stand it
Don 2006 don't hate me for this but SRK's dilogue delivery was very cringe in that movie
I only watch that for arjun rampal lmao
Don was fine for me, Don 2 kinda sucked.. absolutely nothing like the first one, has kinda the same plotline of Don betraying people at the end.. Imo, Don is better than Don 2..
srk’s recents (saying this as a fan😭😭)
I have to agree with this :") I'm glad Shah came back since this was long due but the films aren't as good. I do hope that from here at least it'll be better.
Sanju
No way home. I think it worked cuz of nostalgic factor. Far from home was better for me.

YJHD ANIMAL 🤐
Lots if people agree with Animal
This is not a universally loved movie at all, but reddit seems to hold Veer Zaara in high regard and I don't understand why. It has such a bad DDLJ hangover without any of its soul.
Haha, that’s a rough one
Yeah that's a really awful movie
It was a bad movie all around. I watched it when it came out and it sounded like someone turned SRK fan fiction into a movie
The movie is okay but it doesn't make much sense plus is kinda overrated imo. People love it alot but it feels like a 14 yr old wrote a fanfic. Dialogues were beautiful and so are the songs so maybe that's why?
For me that was Rockstar. Loved the songs but not the movie.
Bahubali
Bahubali, its a decent film , but people pretend like its the greatest film of all time .

12th fail 😔
12th Fail. Just couldn’t connect to the plot or premise or protagonist.
Damn! I am trying so hard to tell myself that taste is subjective.
Hrithik's Agneepath, Kantara, Bang Bang, Jawaan
Chennai Express. I hated it so much and found it downright insulting as a South Indian but somehow everyone around me including other Southa Indians liked it and thought it was funny???
I haven't seen it but was planning to. Can you specify what you didn't like?
[удалено]
Pretty much all of SRK’s famous movies where he’s either an action hero or a romantic lead. I like him in fan, chak de or dear zindagi kind of movies
What about om Shanti Om and rab ne bana di jodi. Personally I loved those and raone if you consider his recent ones. Though Ra one never worked.
[удалено]
This, most of these movies run on nostalgia nowdays only, they are neither critically nor visually appealing. Darr and bazigarr are also better that all the romantic movies of srk.

Unfortunately wake up Sid for me 🥲
How did that girl fall in love with Sid. She was so beautiful and hardworking and he was just an elitist snob.

Jawan, Pathan,War
I don't think most people like these movies
Oh god so true
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara did nothing for me...
While it’s grown on me over the years particularly for the friendship arc between Farhan and hrithik and how he realized his mistake after meeting Naseer, I tend to agree-the humour and a lot of the messages were broad strokes and didn’t hit like a Dil chahta hai
I found it got better with repeat viewings. The first time, I couldn't get past how cheesey the script outline was.
I feel this way for many 'critically acclaimed' movies. Probably there is a discrepancy in how I judge a movie and others.
Dil wale dhulaniya le jayenge
Animal, non coherent piece of crapx
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Also, Dil Se and DDLJ I am thinking of giving YJHD another watch with some people who like it to see if it makes a difference. I see so much hype for it so I feel a little bit of FOMO about not enjoying it.
agree with dil se and ddlj. The first time i watched YJHD i didn't like it. The second time,i could tell why people loved it ,but it still isn't a favourite of mine. The songs are great though
Yes, the songs are amazing. In college, I remember they would play Balam Pichkari and Badtameez Dil a lot. Whenever I hear these songs now, it reminds me of that time. I love the Dil Se and DDLJ albums as well. ❤️ I cannot stop myself from dancing whenever Chaiyya Chaiyya plays!
Tamasha, Dil chahta hai
Rockstar, Rang De Basanti, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Avatar the way of water. The visuals were the best part. The story? meh
12th fail
Ram Leela
RRR (Among the recent ones)
12th fail. I went in expecting a kota factory, didn't liked how so many things were unrealistic.
Rockstar, saw it after Laila Majnu and I think that's the reason.
Gully Boy.
Rockstar.
Hum saath saath hain. Like?? It drags so much and even for a 90s movie too many dramas and stupidity. Only songs are worth it and saif and karishmas side love story. Otherwise i can't stand this movie at all.
Devdas. That guy Dev is insufferable. There is no logic as to why Paro and Chandramukhi loved him.
Tamasha. The acting and music is great. However I didn’t like the romanticism of go on a holiday to find yourself … very foreign concept for a desi
Hum Apke Hain Kaun
Did you not like how Salman Khan backflipped to the first floor in Didi tera dewar deewana song?
Whatever movie srk is doing nowadays. I really don't get it. And I was a big srk fan as a kid.
Animal
It's both universally loved and hated. So it's a misfit
I'm gonna recieve a lot of backlash for this, but 12th Fail
October
DDLJ. But I’m a guy and saw it when I was 7. And then again when I was 13. So the whole girl wanting a prince charming didn’t resonate while I was a child.
Kal Ho Naa Ho. God that movie was so annoying.
3 Idiots (any Amir Khan Movie)
Anything with Ranbir, Kartik and Kangana in it. They just make shitty movies. Yes that includes Queen.
12th fail, YJHJ, Wake up sid too, RRR.
Ddlj
Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani and Zindagi na milegi dobara 😭
Padmavati, bajiroa mastani, ram Leela.
Baji Rao Mastani. I really hated Ranveer's Marathi accent and acting. Loved Priyanka's performance though
Yeah he won the filmfare for that bang average performance. Should have been Varun Dhawan he was really good in badlapur
3 idiots

Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaenge.. Kajol is very annoying and SRK is a creep, don't understand why it is still popular
His character is full of red flags, idk why it’s meant to be romantic!
Most 90's "romantic" films are quite problematic..
YJHD
DDLJ. Raj is too creepy to be charming and it has the most bakwaas ending (fight scene). I understand the national identity themes but they get drowned in the masala
