2016 Bollywood Half-Yearly Report Card: The Biggest Flops Of The Year!

So half of 2016 is over and it's been a fairly good year for Bollywood so far. Considering most of the big-budgeted movies will release in the second half of the year, there is still a lot to look forward to. 

But it's also time to assess some things of the time that has gone by. 

So, on that note, here are the biggest flops in Bollywood this year:

Saala Khadoos

Shot simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil, Saala Khadoos featured Madhavan in a beefed-up look of a boxing coach who had failed in his time but ten years later becomes the coach for women’s boxing team. The much-publicised movie was praised for its acting but the film’s predictable plot undercut its impact.

Waiting

This sensitive film featured two wonderful performances from its leads Nasseerudin Shah and Kalki Kolchien. But all the critical appreciation failed to attract enough audience to make it a profitable venture for its makers.

₹2.50 crore

Love Games

This Vikram Bhatt film had bold themes and interesting ideas but that it was lambasted by the critics for its poor execution and strictly average performances.

Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive

Sequel to the much acclaimed Tere Bin Laden, hired a charismatic lead in the form of Manish Paul but couldn’t repeat the success of the original.

Aligarh

It’s a shame that many people chose to skip Manoj Bajpayee’s masterful performance as a gay professor who gets discriminated against.

Veerappan

The fact that Ram Gopal Verma had also made the highly acclaimed Kannada film Killing Veerappan, only raised expectations from this movie. But those quickly drowned when the film released. In addition to the largely mixed reviews that the film received, it also tanked at the box-office.

Te3n

This Kolkata-based suspense drama was praised for its plot and performances of Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. But despite all that, the film didn’t become a runaway hit that many hoped it to be.

Do Lafzon Ki Kahaani

Randeep Hooda is a talented actor who sometimes makes choices that fail to make much sense. Even though, he still impressed in the film but that wasn’t enough to save it from weak script and direction.

Fitoor

Arguably the biggest flop of the year so far, the film didn’t even come close to recovering its ₹70 crore budget. Adapted from the popular novel Great Expectations, the film featured popular stars Katrina Kaif, Siddharth Roy Kapur and Tabu and was shot in beautiful locations of Kashmir. But that wasn’t enough to hide the film’s slow and melodramatic approach.

₹18.61 crore
