Disastrous debuts of 2010 : Bollywood News

There are debutants who make a mark. There are debutants who dont quite make a mark. And then there are debutants who fade away after that one attempt that goes unnoticed. One cant (and shouldnt) predict whether the names below will ever get a second chance. However, one can say for sure that their first Bollywood outing was a disappointment, whether due to their own act or the film as a whole.

Monikangana Dutta (Guzaarish)

The way Monikangana Dutta was hyped; perhaps it was next only to Sonakshi Sinha in Dabangg. She was being hailed as the find of 2010 by those who stood by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and that too when let aside her characterisation in Guzaarish, not even a single frame from the film had been shown to the world. As it turned out, the length of a single interview of hers was twice the size of her character sketch and dialogues in Guzaarish.

Pakhi (Jhootha Hi Sahi)

Though technically Jhootha Hi Sahi wasnt Pakhis debut (she had played a small part in Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai half a decade back), this John Abraham starrer was one film which properly launched Pakhi. She was universally panned though in majority of reviews as critics didnt take kindly to her. As a leading female protagonist in Jhootha Hi Sahi, she was required to shoulder a huge responsibility but along with the falling of the film, Pakhi fell too.
