15 Unintentionally Hilarious Bollywood Movies You Need To Watch Drunk With Your Friends

The best of the worst.

When it comes to bad films, it honestly doesn't take much to make one. Literally anyone can do it. I mean, a solid 90% of the movies I see every year fall in that spectrum between "meh" and "horrible". Of the rest, around 9% are actually ~good~ in any way.

The real challenge is making it to the remaining 1% – making a bad film that's sooooo bad, it transcends into greatness. Making a good "bad" movie is an underrated art form and, honestly, there aren't many who can claim to have made the cut. Whether through unintentionally hilarious leaps of logic, bad acting, or just the film's general obliviousness about its own quality, these movies inadvertently offer us something that others struggle at even when they try – unlimited entertainment and genuine, unironic laughs.

So, while this is in no way an exhaustive list, here are 15 of the best "worst" movies you need to watch while getting smashed with your friends:

1. Mission Istaanbul

Balaji Motion Pictures

All You Need To Know: Zayed Khan plays India's best journalist (yep) who moves to Turkey and joins forces with Vivek Oberoi to take down the world's dangerous-est terrorist organisation. Oh, and while they take down said terrorists, they chug cans of Mountain Dew in the most hilariously shameless bit of product placement ever seen by man. (This is an actual scene in the movie.)

2. Taarzan: The Wonder Car

Baba Films

All You Need To Know: Ajay Devgan plays a genius scientist who dies and gets reincarnated as a supercar. I repeat – Ajay Devgan plays a genius scientist who dies and gets REINCARNATED AS A SUPERCAR.

3. Awwal Number

T-Series

All You Need To Know: The captain of the Indian cricket team is suspended for his bad boy attitude. He then decides to exact revenge for this insult by planning to bomb the stadium during the next match... you know, like all dropped cricketers do. His brother, a retired CBI officer (played by an aging and hilariously unfit Dev Anand) is then pulled back into duty to stop him.

PS – If you're wondering why supermodel Cindy Crawford is in that frame, it's because they needed a photo of someone who could pass for Dev Anand and Aditya Pancholi's dead stepmom, and they couldn't be arsed to find one that wasn't of CINDY FUCKING CRAWFORD.

4. Junoon

Vishesh Films

All You Need To Know: Before the Bhatts got into the "horrex" genre (horror + sex. It's a thing, look it up), they made this film in which Rahul Roy plays a weretiger. Even though it was made in 1992, the prosthetics and special effects look straight out of 1892. Instant laughs guaranteed.

5. Karzzzz

T-Series

All You Need To Know: What to write about Karzzzz that'll truly sell just how stupidly awesome it is? Suffice it to say that the four Zs in the title are not a typo, there's a song called "Tandoori Nights", and Himesh Reshammiya's character dies and gets reincarnated as one of the world's biggest rockstars.

What more to write only?

6. Prem Aggan

TNT

All You Need To Know: Hands down the worst debut performance given by anyone who's been allowed to keep acting in future films, Fardeen Khan is still somehow not the biggest reason behind this film's hilarity. Innuendo drips from the dialogue, and the songs, and... You know what? Just watch its Pretentious Movie Review to get a taste of what you're missing out on.

7. Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani

Shankar Movies

All You Need To Know: Sci-fi meets fantasy meets sweet fuck-all in this tale about two snake humans... Two snake humans, who live in ancient times, are cursed by a vengeful sadhu, and come back in the 21st century to exact revenge on the cruel world. Not one sentence in that summary makes sense. Not one sentence in that summary is inaccurate.

8. Prince

Tips Music Films

All You Need To Know: Picture a cross between The Bourne Identity, Mission: Impossible, and Mithun Chakraborty's Gunmaster G9. Now picture Vivek Oberoi in the lead, hamming like never before, as a spy who's lost his memory. This one is worth watching just so the gang can play a drinking game where you take a shot every time there's an action sequence, and you identify which foreign film they stole it from.

9. Deshdrohi

PJ Productions

All You Need To Know: In many ways, Deshdrohi is India's The Room – a film widely regarded as the best worst movie ever made. Much like Tommy Wiseau (star, writer, and director of that cult masterpiece), no one knows where Kamaal R. Khan came from. No one knows how he financed this film. And no one knows how he thought making this movie with his acting and writing skills was a good idea. But, duuude, are we glad he did.

10. Dhoom 2

YRF

All You Need To Know: Undoubtedly the most entertaining edition of the Dhoom franchise, this film has Hrithik Roshan playing a master thief who is also a "master of disguise". It just so happens that all his "disguises" are, without fail, the most illogical and unfeasible costume choices for any heist situation. Oh, also, the film has Aishwarya Rai Bachchan playing the single most annoying character to ever grace the silver screen.

11. Players

Viacom

All You Need To Know: This heist movie is "inspired" by The Italian Job, which itself is not exactly a critical darling. However, despite being a beat-for-beat copy, Players somehow manages to be a hundred times worse. Among the many unbelievably ill-conceived characters is Sonam Kapoor playing the world's second-best hacker. Who's the best hacker, you ask? Neil Nitin Mukesh playing a guy named "Spyder", who constantly flirts with his AI home security system named "Baby". Ya.

12. Race

Tips Music Films

All You Need To Know: A film that's so mad trashy, you can't help but admire it for embracing the trashiness so shamelessly. If you take a shot every time there's a contrived plot twist, you'll be drunk in the first half hour. No jokes.

13. Ajnabee

Venus Films

All You Need To Know: Ajnabee is a film that I have described as the "greatest movie of all time" in the past, and it's with good reason. It's got everything – action, romance, drama, murder, wife-swapping, and the greatest password man could possibly conceive. To be perfectly honest, though, it's worth checking this one out just to see that one scene where Bipasha Basu plays a grand piano like she's a trapeze artist.

14. Gunda

Maruti Films

All You Need To Know: Gunda owes a lot to engineering colleges, as it was on their LAN folders that people first discovered its cult potential. From those IITs, it has slowly snowballed into becoming everyone's near-unanimous pick for India's best worst movie. In many ways, the plot doesn't matter. You should just watch it to see what you've been missing out on. Because, man alive, this film is one for the ages.

15. Suryavanshi

Sainath Films

All You Need To Know: Before Salman Khan became "Bhai", he starred in this 1992 "horror" film about rebirth and reincarnation. With a blonde wig and costume choices inspired by Thor (Wikipedia writer's words, not mine), this film is anything but scary. It will make you laugh a helluva lot, though.
