It was believed that their ambitious projects would revive Bollywood that was shut down during the onset of the pandemic. However, the movies headlined by these stars failed massively on the task at hand.
The year 2022 was not a very favorable year for Bollywood. The expectations were banking high from many A-list celebs to revive the industry with their big releases. But alas, some of these rather big names from the industry failed to do so.
Akshay Kumar
Probably Akshay Kumar tasted the biggest defeat this year as all of his movies like Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Cuttputli and Ram Setu failed to work at the box office and received a negative reviews on the OTT platforms one after the other. Now, all eyes are on the year 2023 to see whether the superstar will be able to redeem himself.Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan had quite a rough year on the work front. His ambitious film Laal Singh Chadha faced massive trolling by the 'Boycott Bollywood' brigade owing to some of his past controversial comments. As a result, the film bombed quite badly at the box office. Reportedly, the actor has been gravely affected by this and has decided to take a break from acting for some time.Kangana Ranaut
Kangana Ranaut's Dhaakad had gotten everyone excited as it was a first-of-its-kind woman-led action film with stylized stunt and battle sequences. But the movie had failed to impress the audiences and is touted to be one of the most unsuccessful films of this year. The film hit a new low when it sold just 20 tickets across India and earned Rs 4,420 nationwide.Ayushmann Khurrana
Ayushmann Khurrana was extremely ambitious about all his releases this year ranging from Anek, Doctor G, and An Action Hero which ranged from different genres. But all of them tanked hard at the box office with pretty mediocre reviews. Ayushmann's unique film choices also could not help revive Bollywood.Hrithik Roshan
All eyes were on Hrithik Roshan's Vikram Vedha wherein the actor was sporting a totally new avatar of that of a rogue antagonist. But despite the mixed reviews, the movie could not work wonders at the box office as it was expected to do so. Comparisons with the original Tamil film did not help either.Kareena Kapoor Khan
Kareena Kapoor Khan lately has limited releases on the big screen so when it was reported that she is teaming up with Aamir Khan for Laal Singh Chaddha, hopes were riding high on this film. But the movie failed massively at the box office. Kareena's past comment wherein she had asked people 'not to watch' their films heavily backfired against her this time. The actress also was heard asking the audience not to boycott her film in an interview before the release of the film. Please Subscribe us OnGoogle News
