As the first of our year ending features, HitList takes a look at some of the box office duds this year that fell flat on their faces despite a publicity blitzkrieg. Kunal M Shah lists out 2012's most over-hyped duds

Players
Director: Abbas-Mustan
Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol, Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Neil Mukesh.
Hype: The official remake of Hollywood’s The Italian Job, the film was talked about mainly because of Abbas Mustan and its garangutan cast with Neil to be the surprise package. Boy, were they in for a rude surprise!u00a0
The end result: The film tanked right from the word go and there were huge losses to every investor associated with the film.u00a0

Agent Vinod
Director: Sriram Raghvan
Cast: Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor
Hype: Said to be the Indian version of James Bond, the film was shot over seven countries. It was to be Saif and Kareena’s last film together before they got married. Viewers suggested they re-title the film Travel Agent Vinod.
The end result: The film failed to live up to expectations and the feature’s length was primarily blamed. It turned out to be a box office dud.
