Top 10 Worst Indian Movies of 2025: I Cannot Do This Anymore


I’ve had multiple instances this year where I finished a movie and literally exclaimed, "I cannot do this anymore!" There’s this odd misconception that creators thrive on bad movies for engagement, but honestly? It’s exhausting. The industry coasts through mediocrity, assuming we'll just swallow it. But if being a buffer means I have to sit through absolute slop so you don't have to, then so be it. I haven't taken a penny for a review, and I’m not starting now. So, here are the receipts on the year’s absolute disasters. The timeline is in shambles, and we need to talk.

The Breakdown

10. Sikandar

  • The Facts: Salman Khan’s "comeback" with AR Murugadoss.

  • The Vibe: I keep oscillating between hope and despair with Salman. This was supposed to be a banger, but it was an unintentionally funny mess. The organ donation plot was hilarious, the romance with Rashmika was awkward, and the antagonists had zero aura. Salman was sleepwalking, and honestly, even the most loyal fans couldn't convince themselves to like this one.

9. Game Changer

  • The Facts: Ram Charan x Shankar. Years in the making.


  • The Vibe: Other than Ram Charan’s sheer dedication, there was barely a silver lining here. The comedy was loud and outdated, SJ Suryah was a caricature, and the music videos felt like Shankar was stuck in a time loop of bad fashion. It’s frustrating to see an actor of Charan's caliber waste time on a project that feels this ancient.

8. Akhanda 2

  • The Facts: Balayya returns to save the world from a bio-hazard.

  • The Vibe: My idol had to feature here. I went all the way to the corners of Ghaziabad for this, and what did I get? A WhatsApp forward of pseudoscience. Seeing Balayya lecture the Army Chief with "You protect the country, I protect the Dharma" had me face-palming every 15 minutes. It’s unbearable unless you’re watching it for the memes.

7. Thug Life

  • The Facts: Mani Ratnam directs Kamal Haasan.

  • The Vibe: "Look how they ruined my boy." I had wild theories about Yakuza connections, but the reality was an abomination. The sound mixing was all over the place, the relationships were regressive (a recurring theme with Mani Sir lately), and the story was a predictable drag. A collab this legendary shouldn't feel this painful.


6. Housefull 5

  • The Facts: The franchise that refuses to die, now on a cruise.

  • The Vibe: A bootleg Knives Out that relies on objectifying women and double-meaning jokes. Sitting through Nargis Fakhri’s "Nepali" accent and Aakhri Pasta’s screeching is a torture I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. And the producer’s masterstroke of releasing it in two parts? Creative failure, pro max.

5. War 2

  • The Facts: Hrithik Roshan vs. Jr NTR in the Spy Universe.

  • The Vibe: I went in like a whipped boyfriend hoping for change, and I left heartbroken. This wasn't a spy thriller; it was an unintentional romance. The tension between Kabir and Raghu in that igloo... my mother literally said they should have just kissed. It was illogical, the CGI was slop, and I actually missed Tiger Shroff. That’s how bad it was.

4. Telusu Kada

  • The Facts: A "romantic" drama directed by a woman.

  • The Vibe: This was pure rage-bait. The hero walks in slow-motion to wannabe-Animal BGM while gaslighting his partner. The dialogue "If estrogen is this egoistic, wait until you meet testosterone" is the cringiest thing I've heard all year. It’s misogynistic, irritating, and I’m relieved the audience rejected it.

3. Baaghi 4 (trailer so bad I won't be embedding it, watch it at your own risk)

  • The Facts: Tiger Shroff fighting... again.

  • The Vibe: Tiger was once a novelty; now it’s just exhausting. This rip-off of a Tamil movie had incessant shouting, zero chemistry, and Sanju Baba playing the same generic villain for the gazillionth time. Tiger roasting Gen-Z in the movie while doing outdated comedy? The math isn't mathing.

2. Nadaaniyaan

  • The Facts: Ibrahim Ali Khan’s big debut.

  • The Vibe: A terrible Boomer idea of what Gen-Z dating looks like. As someone from the area, I feel personally offended by their representation of Noida. Ibrahim winning a debate by showing his abs? A random PSA about vaccines? It was a low-effort investment that was painful to sit through.

1. Masti 4

  • The Facts: The "comedy" sequel nobody asked for.

  • The Vibe: I can't believe Vivek Oberoi talks about "Nation First" and then drops this slop. We’re analyzing farts to distinguish between Rajma and Chole. We’re watching a snake play tug-of-war with a man’s junk. It’s not just bad; it’s traumatic. Even the WhatsApp uncles would roll their eyes at this.

The "TL;DR" Snippet

The Hall of Shame (According to Me) #1 Worst: Masti 4 - A traumatic experience involving snake bites and fart jokes. Biggest Letdown: War 2 - Turned the Spy Universe into a toxic rom-com. Most Offensive: Telusu Kada - "Testosterone vs Estrogen" logic. Most Out of Touch: Nadaaniyaan - Boomers writing for Gen-Z. The Takeaway: 2025 was the year of big budgets and zero scripts.

Fans Also Asked Why is the War 2 movie receiving negative reviews despite the Hrithik and Jr NTR casting? The film is being panned primarily for its lackluster CGI and an unintentionally romantic dynamic between the leads that killed the thriller vibe. Critics and audiences alike felt the "face-off" moments had more tension than a rom-com finale, turning the spy thriller into a meme.

Is Salman Khan's Sikandar a box office hit or a flop in 2025? Sikandar is widely considered a creative and critical failure, with reviews citing Salman Khan's "sleepwalking" performance and a bizarre organ donation plot. Even loyal fans struggled to defend the film, comparing the disappointment to his previous critical disasters like Race 3.

What makes Masti 4 the worst-rated Bollywood comedy of the year? Masti 4 earned the top spot on "worst of" lists due to its traumatic reliance on toilet humor—specifically scenes analyzing farts—and offensive sequences involving CGI animals. It’s a masterclass in how not to make a comedy in 2025.

Did Ram Charan's Game Changer live up to the hype after RRR? No, Game Changer failed to meet expectations, with criticisms directed at its outdated script, loud comedy, and caricature-like villains that wasted Ram Charan's potential. The delay in release only highlighted how stuck in the past the storytelling felt.

Why is Ibrahim Ali Khan's debut movie Nadaaniyaan getting trolled online? The film is being roasted for presenting a "Boomer's idea" of Gen-Z culture, including unrealistic scenes like winning debates by flashing abs and misrepresenting Noida. It was termed a "low-effort investment" that failed to connect with the very youth audience it targeted.

Is the Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan movie Thug Life worth watching in theaters? Most reviews suggest avoiding it, as the film is described as a "messy, regressive drag" with poor sound mixing and a predictable storyline. The collaboration between two legends unfortunately resulted in a project that felt disjointed and technically flawed.
