Best of Bollywood 2012 - Biggest Musical Disappointment


The recognition for Big Music Disappointment of 2012 is given to the Film Soundtrack which failed to live up to the expectations set by the history of the music associated with the Actors, Producers and most importantly the music directors of the film.

#5 - Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi (Jeet Ganguly)
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Farah Khan and a revived Jeet Ganguly presented dated music that was a bit annoying to listen to. The bright spot was Khatti Meethi from Shreya Ghoshal despite the musicality being a bit like karaoke. 

#4 - Raaz 3 (Jeet Ganguly,Rashid Khan)
The RAAZ franchise is known for great music especially with the backing of  Vishesh Films and Emraan Hashmi. Sadly, the songs were not anything special like the last films and failed to haunt the listeners.

#3 - Dangerous Ishhq (Himesh Reshammiya)
The songs for Karisma's comeback was not that bad if it was released 10 years but it was the length and the excessive loops in the background that disappointed Himesh fans as this was also the start to his comeback in music.

#2 - Tezz (Sajid-Wajid)
TEZZ had one good song while the others were atrocious to mediocre. The melody mass music makers Sajid-Wajid missed big time in creating hit music as the songs were uninspiring.

#1 - Joker (G.V. Prakash Kumar, Gaurav Dagaonkar)
First big miss for Joker's music was that G.V. Prakash Kumar is A.R. Rahman's nephew?! Yes he made this crap called music with Shrish Kunder as lyricist. The one decent song was Kafirana which was  composed by Gaurav Dagaonkar. Sing Raja was pure stupidity, Jugnu was a waste of Udit Narayan's talent, and Yeh Joker was a big bore. Shrish Kunder didn't follow up JAAN-E-MANN well with JOKER's bad music and that's why it is the biggest music disappointment of 2012.

Just Missed the list: Ferrari Ki Sawari (Pritam)

Best of Bollywood 2012 - Best Poster

The recognition for Best Bollywood Poster of 2012 is given to the film whose poster was had originality, appeal, and was a good portrayal of the film.

#10 - English Vinglish (Eros International, Hope Productions)
 #9 - Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana (UTV Spot Boy, AKFPL Production, Jar Pictures)
 #8 - Agent Vinod (Illuminati Films, Eros International Media Ltd)
 #7 - Rowdy Rathore (UTV Motion Pictures, Hari Om Entertainment Co., SLB Films)
 #6 - Agneepath (Dharma Productions)
 #5 - Ishaqzaade (Yash Raj Films)
Many films had a rustic appeal this year but ISHAQZAADE's poster potrayed the theme well with impressive font, bright colors, and a strong pose from the new actors.

#4 - London Paris New York (Rose Movies, Fox Star Studios)
Ooo lala. Talk about a fresh poster LONDON PARIS NEW YORK nailed the idea of representing Paris in the film and the poster.

#3 - Jism 2 (Fish Eye Network Pvt Ltd, Clockwork Films Private Limited)
The suspense, the sexuality, and the oomph of this poster is everything JISM 2 is about. 

#2 - Barfi (UTV Motion Pictures, Ishana Movies)
The old world charm in the poster allowed for BARFI to land in the top 5 posters for the year. All three actors evoke a happiness that draws the onlooker and the costumes are just outstanding.


#1 - Cocktail (Illuminati Films, Eros International)
The perfect summer film and the perfect summer poster, COCKTAIL had it all right. The costumes, the coloring, and the font just exudes creativity.
