Let's face it! The slowdown has wiped thousands of businesses off the map and firms worldwide are looking to cut some unnecessary flab. But Bollywood seems to be inflating into an industry that can no longer sustain the costs involved - not even the complimentary vada pav.
There were rumours that today's film crews are following the good ol' BYOB (bring your own breakfast) rule and the starlet's trailer double up as the on-set fire fighting vehicle!
So, as a responsible movie website, and being the kind of people who care for genuine talent ignored, here's a list of 10 celebrities who need to be thrown out of the business - for the greater good!
The criteria for a pink slip here is a severe lack of talent, a lack of range, zero on-screen presence, trashy fan following and, yes, disastrous acting!
verything was wrong about his debut. A crappy movie, trashy special effects, the comparison to Hrithik and a hugely successful girlfriend - who dumped him soon after! Hurman's debut will go down in history as one of Bollywood's darkest hours. His second attempt at fame was the ironically titled Victory - let's not even go there!
Daddy Baweja should have let him continue college because the only way junior would have made it to a movie set on his own was if he were doing the catering!
A zero for acting, zero screen presence, zero fan following and, yes, the inability to tell a good plot from something like Love Story 2050, which looked like a North Korean remake of a Spielberg spectacle.
A case of the talentless younger sister! Malaika Arora's younger sister has not had a single substantial hit to her name since the Triassic era! Most of us wonder how the sister got into Bollywood in the first place - guess she had a free pass.
Many even believe Amrita remains an average in the looks department, too, something the actress is going to trash with her bikini shot in Kambakht Ishq and we hope to God it helps. But we rather she gets out of her sister's shadow and proves it out in the heat!
Ekta Kapoor's brother should have tried anything that does not involve a camera! There are so many of his so-called hits that would have done better without him. Golmaal Returns was just the right amount of 'fine' with Shreyas Talpade, Arshad Warsi and Ajay Devgan leading the attack and Shootout at Lokhandwala could have saved on some ketchup without this on-screen defect.
Tusshar will be remembered for being the sore thumb, an anomaly in casting and the reason you suffer from road rage when returning from the cinema!
Ram Gopal Verma's icing on all the disasters! Nisha Kothari seems to have beaten the crap out of some good old Bollywood glam, turning it into a vulgar buffet for zombies instead of moviegoers. The problem with her is a case of programming when the poor girl hasn't really switched off the item number mode! You could almost hear the crappy music when she delivers her lines and the disco lights playing during an emotional scene. If Ram Gopal Verma ki Aag went up in flames, she's the one who left the 'gas' on!
His Karzzzz cost this singer/actor/disaster a career. But the single worst part of that entire mismanaged business plan was the resulting extinction of Urmila Matondkar! He successfully managed to wipe out one of Bollywood's sexiest stars ever off the map.
Himesh has always remained the butt of all showbiz jokes - we have a folder filled with those - and has trudged on with that annoying disregard for opinions and advice to quit and start a restaurant maybe.
Himesh will be remembered for the abundant fodder he provided us showbiz journalists who were running out of targets, his problem of confusing the camera with a mirror and that damn cap!
She's sexy, beautiful, well dressed, outspoken and glamorous, but so are bank tellers and dentists' assistants! We last saw gorgeous in Golmaal Returns in a sizzling, short-fused role which was unfortunately all blown up to hell by Tusshar Kapoor
Celina is still one of the country's most prized possessions - a beauty queen who had all the qualifications to enter a film career! But an overdose of glam seems to have killed off good scripts and the roles that would have headed her way. Celina's short stint in music videos and a bunch of super-hot wallpapers is all that we can remember her by. We wish she could stay but then it's a question of survival, and Celina is now the bottom of the food chain.
Even his brother's dhai kilo ka haath failed to pull him out of the hole Bobby dug for himself! But we wouldn't hack at Bobby much because he was just obeying bade bhaiya's orders and, if it required him to do a movie like Aapne, you couldn't say no.
No, we don't blame Bobby and maybe in due time we'll even strike him off the hit list because, after all, who would want to put a face in the path of the dhai kilo ka haath?
Mummy dearest tried her best to push daughter's career, but it's all a wasteland now. Eesha failed because of a lack of 'core competency' - a singular difference that separates you from the competition and the characteristic that makes you extra special! Eesha never possessed true acting capabilities and the expectations were just too high to reach!
It's household knowledge that it's doubly difficult for an actress to prove herself on her debut, but if Asin could do it, Hema Malini's daughter was not exactly suffering from what you would term as a disadvantage!
Junior Oberoi's entrance had more drama to it than a Spice Girls' tour! Vivek Oberoi remains one of the few actors in Bollywood whose off-screen scandals made a dent in an otherwise promising career! We do admit he's capable of trash but there was also Company - but then that honour was stolen from him, too. His altercation with bad boy Salman, the feisty politics and amateurish career moves he decided to adopt put lifetime in peril. And we thought the self-destruct button comes with a warning!
