Updated : August 31, 2017 06:30 PM IST
In Bollywood to score hit is the biggest aim for any film and while hits call for celebration, flops are the biggest nightmare for any producer. Like we cannot stop gushing about the biggest hits of Bollywood similarly there so many flops which we just cannot forget and they keep haunting us for a good long time.
But even in such haunting flops there are those that made us dance to their tunes first and enchanted us with some great songs only to disappoint us big time later with their stories. Here is a list of Bollywood flops of the 21st century that were a musical treat.
1. Baar Baar Dekho – With Siddharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif tossing us back and forth in time, we could barely made sense of the story if there was any! But in all the fiasco the film did give us some great romantic numbers like Sau Aasman and Daariya and a superb party number like Kala Chashma to remember. The music was definitely the only highlight of the film!

2. Fitoor – The only few things that made this movie sell some tickets was Tabu’s acting, picturesque frames and some good music. Songs including the title track and Pashmina were a listener’s delight.

3. Dilwale –If a film that had the best onscreen couple of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in it and then it failed us, we do not know what to believe in anymore. Well if the story was a buzz kill the music did compensate some bit for our broken hearts. With songs like Gerua, Janam Janam, and Tukur Tukur, the album was a hit.

4. Tamasha – The reunion of one of Bollywood’s most favorite estranged couples on screen calls for a large audience to come and watch, but it was not the case with this one. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone pulled together in this intense story failed to impress many. But the audiences did love the songs like Matargashti and Agar Tum Saath Ho.

5. Shaandaar – The most royal flop of 2015, there was nothing quite Shaandaar about this Shahid and Alia starrer movie. But the movie did create high hopes with some great fun numbers like, Shaam Shaandaar, Gulabo and Raita Phel Gaya.

6. Roy – Just another flop of Ranbir Kapoor in 2015, the film failed to draw audiences with such sullen face of Ranbir that we saw in the trailer and songs. But the songs like Chitiyan Kalaiyan, Sooraj Dooba Hai and Tu Hai Ki nahi were super hits!

7. Anjaana Anjaani – The overly dramatic film certainly killed us with boredom. Most of the songs however were played on loop by us. With songs like Anjaana Anjaani, Hairat, Aas Paas Hai Khuda, Tujhe Bhula Diya, the album was a sure success!

8. Raavan - This Mani Ratnam film became a box office disappointment in 2010 with Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in the lead. Even when the film disappointed we were in love with the music A.R. Rehman created. Beera, Behen De and Ranjha Ranjha were definite hits!

9. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom – Not many had the patients to sit through this 2007 movie, but music was pretty good and had more than one hit number in the album like Bolna Halke Halke, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, and Kiss of Love.

10. Anwar – If at all there is anything about the movie that we remotely recall is the music. Songs like Tohse Naina Lage and Maula Mere certainly made us fall in love.

11. Saawariya – It was dream debut for Rabir kapoor and Sonam Kapoor to kick star their career with a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film in 2007. But nothing saved the slow paced film from becoming a box office flop. The music though indeed clicked with the audiences and can still be found the playlists of many!

12. Jaan-e-Maan – This 2006 Diwali relase definitely tanked at the box office, still the soft numbers from the movie made it to our hearts and became something we would croon away while sitting idle. Sau Dard and Humko malum hai were our favorites!

13. Aashiq Banaya Aapne – This music album is a sure shot guilty pleasure not many of us will openly admit to. The success of Himesh Reshmiya’s songs in this otherwise disastrous movie was no surprise even if his nasal voice was thoroughly trolled.

14. Jhaankar Beats – Many might remember this film but might not have seen it. The reason behind the vivid memory of this musical comedy is the music which we loved. With Vishal and Shekhar kick starting their journey in Bollywood the songs like Tu Aashiqui Hai and Suno Na stayed with us.

15 Paap – The film had nothing in it except two great songs that we sing and lose ourselves listening to any time. These songs were Mann Ki Lagan and the power pact number Garaj Baras.
16. Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon - Frankly this film had so much acting that we were sort of done with movies for good if some other rational film did not reassure us and reinstate our faith in movies. But even this over dramatic piece of work had songs that became super hits!
