The Abhishek Varman-directed film Kalank, despite having an all-star cast of Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha, and Aditya Roy Kapur was firmly placed among Bollywood flops. 

7. Jagga Jasoos

Box office collection: ₹90 crore

Featuring Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor in the lead roles, Jagga Jasoos struggled to keep up with the box office numbers. The Anurag Basu directorial was made with a budget of 130 crores.

9. Players

Box office collection: ₹48 crore

10. Tubelight

Box office collection: ₹114 crore

Like Many Salman Khan films, Tubelight was a war drama film that strived hard to impress the audience but somehow failed. 

11. Mohenjo Daro

Box office collection: ₹53 crore

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, the historical drama had Hrithik Roshan in the lead. However, the movie rarely created an impact on janta. 

12. Shaandaar

Box office collection: ₹73 crore

Shahid Kapor- Alia Bhatt starrer flick Shaandaar may have given us a fresh paring but it didn’t have enough scope to impress the janta.  

13. Zero

Box office collection: ₹186 crore

Directed by Aanand L. Rai, Zero was made with a budget of approx Rs 200 crore and became an absolute disaster. Featuring Shahrukh Khan- Katrina Kaif- Anushka Sharma trio, the story didn’t catch well with the audience.  

14. Saawariya

Box office collection: ₹39 crore

The Sanjay Leela Bhansali flick marked the debut of Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor. Even though it was the most awaited romantic drama, Saawariya is considered among the top flop movies. 

15. Guzaarish

Box office collection: ₹61 crore

Guzaarish may have failed at meeting box office numbers because of its plot. But one cannot ignore the sizzling chemistry between Aishwarya and Hrithik. 

It all comes down to janta and how relevant the story is to them.
