Movies from your childhood that are a complete disappointment now?

You know those movies that you thought were amazing when you were a kid, but you saw them again and were like WHAT IN THE WORLD? Horrible acting, horrible action, bad production, mistakes, etc.

  1. Jaanbaaz - I thought this was the coolest movie when I was 7. So “modrern”, dishum dishum action, almost like an American movie. Now I saw it again and was like what is this junk. Bad acting, silly story, horrible action and a terrible attempt at Miami Vice like style. Although Dimple was so pretty.

  2. Vidhaata - Probably the mother of all formula/gangster movies. Some interesting parts and only 1 good song, but again very disappointing. Did they not know how to do action scenes back then? One punch and the villian goes flying back.

  3. Jalwa - Ripoff of Beverly Hills Cop. Goa = Beverly Hills. Some good action, and some good comedy by Saeed Jaffrey (his nafees style of speaking Urdu), but everything was horrible, except JoJo :smiley:

I am very sure Tridev will be a disappointment also, but I haven’t seen it again since 89. Good songs if you are from that era and can get over the early 80’s music style that Bollywood was still producing up till the early 90s. Thank A.R Rehman and Bali Sagoo for changing that.

Too many...hard to name one!

However, I have been noticing and finding bloopers in loads of Amitab Bachan movies these days like 2or2 5, kaaliya, yaarana etc etc...
