We all have hearts that good things come in a small package. But things are a little different in the Bollywood industry. For a long time, Bollywood filmmakers are relying on larger-than-life sets, exotic locations, and star-studded casts, to make their movies a blockbuster. To add all these alluring aspects to their movie, the filmmakers are spending millions on their projects. But history is proof that a big budget doesn’t guarantee success always. As an audience, we have seen several big-budget movies failing miserably at the box office. Today, here we bring you a list of the top 10 Big Budget Bollywood Films That Were Huge Flops:
1. Samrat Prithviraj: With a star-studded cast including, Akshay Kumar. Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, and debutant Manushi Chillar in lead, Samrat Prithviraj was produced on a whopping budget of 200 crores. But unfortunately, the movie is based on the life of Indian brave warrior and emperor Prithvi Raj Chauhan, who collected just Rs 55.05 crore in week one. Globally, the film has collected a poor Rs 71.83 crore.
2. 83: Blame it on the pandemic or audience’s choice, but Kabir Khan’s sports drama based on the iconic world cup win back in 1983, turned out to be a big flop at the box office. Starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in lead, the movie collected Rs 193.73 crore globally, while it was made on a budget of Rs 260 crore.
3. Zero: Most ambitious and anticipated project of Shah Rukh Khan, failed to impress the audience and collected just Rs 90.28 crore in India and Rs 186 crore globally. With the big-budget, the movie was filled with VFX and was all set to give the industry a new curve.
4. Thugs of Hindustan: Leaving every one of us shocked, Thugs of Hindustan, garnered only Rs 151 crore domestically and Rs 322.07 crore globally. Starring Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif & Fatima Sana Shaikh in lead, the movie was made on the budget of whopping Rs 310 crores.
5. Bombay Velvet: Undoubtedly one of the biggest flops of the industry, Bombay Velvet left everyone depressed. The film was made with a budget of Rs 120 Crores and managed to make only Rs 43 Crores.
6. Tubelight: Salman Khan has been representing the 100 crore club in the industry for a long time but his image got dirty with the failure of Tubelight. a film that was made with a budget of Rs 135 Crores, only collected Rs 119 Crores. The storyline was a lot better than most of his films though.
7. Race 3: A film that we wish to erase from our memory is this! Compared to Race 1 and Race 2, this one starring Jacqueline Fernandez, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, and Daisy Shah was an absolute disaster. We wonder how this film even collected Rs 166 Crores.
8. Shaandar: We don’t need to give you the reason why Shaandar was declared a flop at the box office. While the buffs expected Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer to rock the box office, it turned out to be a big flop.
9. Yuvraj: This was Salman before he became the money-minting star that he is. Yuvvraaj did not sit well with the audience and consequently managed to rake in just Rs 16 Crores.
10. Sawaariya: Even though Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor were lucky to start their career with SLB, we can’t say the same for the producer of the film. The film was a snooze fest, and the only good thing about the movie was the songs. But unfortunately, it tanked at the box office and made barely Rs 36 Crores.
