2023 has been a great year for cinema overall. December saw the release of numerous hit films that shattered various records. However, amidst the successes, there were a few movies in 2023 that failed to resonate with anyone. Today, we’re going to discuss the top 5 worst movies of 2023 that received no love from audiences.
1. Adipurush
Released with much anticipation, Prabhas-starrer “Adipurush” found itself at the center of controversy due to its subpar VFX work. The film, based on the epic Ramayana, aimed to bring this ancient tale to life but faltered in execution. Fans found fault in everything from dialogues to scenes, deeming the entire experience lackluster. Directed by Om Raut and featuring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan, this action-packed fantasy film failed to meet expectations.
2. Ganapath
Directed by Vikas Bahl and starring Tiger Shroff, Himanshu Jaykar, and Kriti Sanon, “Ganapath” hit screens in October 2023. Despite a promising lineup, the film failed to leave a mark, falling short of audience expectations.
3. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan
An adaptation of the Tamil film “Veeram” by Siva, “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan,” directed by Farhad Samji, entered theaters in April 2023. Despite a substantial box office collection, the film failed to resonate with audiences on a deeper level, adding to the list of lackluster releases.
4. The Archies
Based on the beloved characters from Archie Comics, “The Archies,” directed by Zoya Akhtar and distributed by Netflix, aimed to bring nostalgia to the screen. However, its execution and a budget estimated at ₹40 crore did not translate into a memorable cinematic experience for viewers.
5. Shehzada
Directed by Rohit Dhawan, “Shehzada” boasted a considerable budget and a star-studded production team including Kartik Aaryan, Aman Gill, Allu Aravind, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and S. Radha Krishna. Despite its financial backing, the film failed to impress, with fans citing various shortcomings.
Despite the diverse genres and talented casts, these films encountered criticism for various reasons, including weak storytelling, subpar visual effects, and a failure to connect with the audience emotionally.
In conclusion, while 2023 witnessed some spectacular cinematic moments, these five films, unfortunately, couldn’t meet the expectations of their eager audiences. Reviews and fan reactions collectively contributed to labeling them as the worst movies of the year.
