9 Popular Bollywood Stars And Their Biggest Hits & Flops!

While Bollywood stars are known for their immense popularity, even they experience failure at one time or another. It is largely because these 'stars' -- with all their star-power and insane following -- are still actors in a movie. A movie, in case you didn't know, is a very complex art, both in terms of its creation and how it is marketed. What this means is that a commercially successful movie is a very rare occurrence as so many things have to be factored in. If any thing, any process, goes wrong, it deeply affects the film.

And that is why, you might be the biggest movie star in the country yet once in a while you will experience failure. Lack of success is bound to happen, no matter how big you are.

Let us demonstrate the very fact by going through the highs and lows of these uber-popular stars:
