With 1.1/10 score, 'Sadak 2' becomes worst-rated film on IMDb

Sadak 2, that was released on Disney+ Hotstar on Friday evening, is a sequel to Bhatt's own 1991 hit movie Sadak.

Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt reprise their roles from original flick. It also stars Mahesh Bhatt's daughter Alia, and Aditya Roy Kapur.

But it's not just fans who are unhappy. The movie has received disastrous reviews, with critics calling it "terrible" and "lackluster".

Sadak 2's closest rival on IMDb happens to be a 2015 Turkish film, Code Name: K.O.Z., which has a slightly better rating of 1.3 out of 10 stars.

In terms of Bollywood, Sadak 2's rating has dropped even below the most critically-panned films such as Himmatwala (1.7 stars out of 10), Ram Gopal Varma's Fire (1.7), The Legend of Drona (2), and Karzzzz (2.1).

Earlier, fans ran a campaign to down-vote the trailer of Sadak 2 on YouTube.

In fact, with more than 12 million (1.2 crore) dislikes, the clip has become the most-disliked YouTube video in India as well as the most-disliked trailer clip around the world.

It is also the second most-disliked YouTube video in the world, only behind YouTube's Rewind 2018 (18 million dislikes).

The reason why Sadak 2 has become perhaps the most-hated film for this generation is because of the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who died by alleged suicide.

Angry fans alleged that the rising star, an industry "outsider," was ostracised by Bollywood's "elite club" and "insiders."

Sadak 2, which features star kids in all the lead roles, has become an obvious target.

In sharp contrast to the records held by Sadak 2, Dil Bechara, Sushant's final movie, released a month after his death, received all the love from fans.

With 8.9/10 stars, it ranks as one of the highest-rated movies on IMDb.

Its trailer also received a record 11 million (1.1 crore) likes on YouTube.

Sushant's final performance was also hailed by critics and audiences.
