Oddly this list is usually longer. Although I haven't seen, but I'd blindedly be willing to bet my money that Baabul is amongst the worst of 2006. A few other films that I have seen(Vivah, Waris Shah) in the past year that I didn't expressly care for while not to an extent of showcasing any excessive distaste either.

Fanaa, for me, was far and out the most radically dangerous Indian film of 2006. It's pseudo-political blabbering is the equivlance of any hate-mongering speech. Paradoxically, Fanaa has to be the worst possible film Aamir Khan took upon himself, especially since it came right after Rang De Basanti. Certainly a step back for someone who's progressive infulence has been felt throughout Bollywood(ugh, there comes that B word again).

I've yet to catch up on a few more films and I have my fingers crossed that they place amongst the best of 2006, which by the way, is another new thread soon the follow.

Fanaa..aamir's worst success, so do Don, for both, sarook and director!

Johars are slimmy makers any ways!!

Dhooms, they are feeding high tech ladoos by hand! but by exclusion, it was better action sequences this year! along with Hrithik's white milk choclate, goodies, baddies suceess

taxi 9211 is a class movie.. how can u call that crap..

For one, the plot is lifted from Changing Lanes, there's also nothing exciting in Milan Luthria's direction. I would have liked this film more if Sonali Kulkarni's role was given a bigger push, if given the chance, she's simply wonders to watch. The plot-detached ending is a bad cliche that most Bombay film director's can't seem to overlook, and really serves no purpose in helping the film.

I like her too! amazingly competent actress, underated and underused!

I"ve seen her in May Maadham and she, along with Rahman's music, was the saving grace of that film. Too bad, she is not on the big screen all that much.

Sonali Kulkarni struggles with her acting a trifle in Hindi language films. I have hated her PYAAR TUNE KYA KIYA and did not quite care for her in DCH or AGNI VARSHA. She has been given many chances but has not risen to her potential. I suspect she has not gotten over her feeling of being enamoured at breaking through in Hindi films(from her stage and regional film days). Though she was reasonable in TAXI NO.9211

Nevertheless she is a great actress. Watch her really terrific performance in KAIRI albeit a little truncated as well as MUKTA (a Jabbar Patel Marathi film). If she can bring that kind of a performance to her current roles, I will all but prostrate myself before her

I quite agree, and an extended role would have helped the film, atleast for me it would have. Also, I haven't seen Agni Varsha in quite a while, but I do remember that I liked her in the film, along with the film itself. Her natural, unmaterial-ized appearance is one of her biggest commodities and it worked well with Agni Varsha. Unfortunately, I've only seen parts of Kairee. Will indeed watch the entire film when I get the chance.

Just finished watching Yun Hota To Kya Hota, and it's an atrocious film. My mind can't seem to register what the actual motive behind the film was all about, if any, I simply didn't get it. Beyond this, I found it amply cold and it had nothing more to say than "the world is a shit place to live" or that "life is a bitch". One could possibly coexist with this world, but Shah never alludes to any sense of profound reasoning for its being. Naseeruddin Shah has never really surprised me beyond his magnificent acting abilities. He has always presented a sort of contradicting persona in reality in adverse to his acting, and this film is nothing more than a mere extention of himself.

I initially felt very strongly on placing this film at #2 on my list, but I ultimately realize that Johar's film offends me on far greater levels than this one.

I watched a shitty print of Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota a few months ago, and, it seems, I'm one of the few who really liked it. The movie didn't try to "suprise" anyone with the 9/11 angle (it gave a little date-subtitle right at the beginning), and didn't spend a whole lot of time on said aspect, doing which would have made for a totally different film. I guess enough time has passed, and some 9/11 films are beginning to crop up. I haven't seen Oilver Stone's World Trade Center yet, but, from the commercials, it looks like utter garbage. On the other hand, I very much liked Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota — theme, message, execution: everything. I found the picture a well-made telling of the tales of a few people whose lives ended on September 11, 2001. The "point" was simple — life can end... just like — yet I found it effectively stated. We spend a little under two hours (I believe) getting to know some people; we know they'll die, and we get to watch them die at the end, but, altogether, to me, the film manages to be more than fulfilling.

In order of which I hated them, it would be:

1. KANK
2. Fanaa
3. Baabul
4. Dhoom 2
5. Don

That's just about every "big" movie of 2006. Didn't you like anything?

Rang De Basanti and Omkara were OK. But there was not a single great film of 2006 from India that I saw.

I haven't yet seen Rang De Basanti. I've gotten through about half of Omkara, and, this far, am finding it over-rated.

CHINGAARI and BAABUL for me are the worst films I have seen.
