Last Box Office FLOP of Bollywood Actors

Aamir Khan (14 years back, Mela in January 2000) – Aamir’s last flop was 14 years back when Mela released in theatres. Mangal Pandey didn’t do too well at the box office, but managed to recover its investment due to the bumper opening that it took. While many consider ‘Dhobi Ghat’ to be a failure, the film was profitable for its makers as it did reasonably well in India (Above Average) and performed very well overseas.

Shahrukh Khan (9 years back, Paheli in June 2005) – Shahrukh’s last failure was 9 years back when Paheli bombed at the box office. Since 2005, every single SRK film has managed atleast ‘HIT’ status. Films like Om Shanti Om, Chak De India and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi were ‘Blockbusters’. Chennai Express is his biggest grosser ever.

Salman Khan (5 years back, London Dreams in October 2009) – Veer didn’t do too well the box-office, but didn’t ‘Flop’ either. London Dreams failed, but since 2010, Salman has been unstoppable at the box office. 5 back-to-back blockbusters, followed by an average grosser Jai Ho and his biggest grosser ‘Kick’ – his first film to cross 200 crore.

Hrithik Roshan (4 years back, Guzaarish in November 2010) – Hrithik has tried his hand at different genres – a coming of age film (Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara), revenge drama (Agneepath), superhero film (Krrish 3) and an out-an-out action film (Bang Bang) – all have done well at the box office. His last two films managed to gross 300 crore worldwide. Again, consistency-wise, it’s the Khans at the top followed by Hrithik at No 4.

Salman – SRK – Aamir – Hrithik

Shahid Kapoor (2 years back, Teri Meri Kahaani in June 2012) – Shahid makes it to the Top 5 as his last film that didn’t work at the box office released more than 2 years ago. His last three films have done pretty well – Phata Poster Nikhla Hero (Above Average), R.. Rajkumar (Hit) and Haider (Hit).

Sidharth Malhotra (no flops so far) – Sidharth’s debut film Student Of The Year released in October 2012. Since then, all his films have done well at the box office. Hasee Toh Phasee was a average grosser, Ek Villain super-hit.

Varun Dhawan (no flops so far) – Like Sidharth, Varun also made his debut in Student Of The Year. His films that followed have all been successful – Main Tera Hero (Hit) and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (Super Hit).

Arjun Kapoor (1.5 years back, Aurangzeb in May 2013) – The last year or so have been good for Arjun Kapoor. Gunday, also starring Ranveer Singh, did well. And his solo-film 2 States was a huge hit.

Ranveer Singh (1 year back, Lootera in July 2013) – Ranveer’s Lootera received tremendous critical acclaim, but didn’t work at the box office. And Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl aside, the rest of his films have all fared pretty well.

Ajay Devgan (1.5 years back, Himmatwala in March 2013) – Himmatwala was a mistake and Satyagraha (Average) didn’t do too well. But Singham Returns rocked the box office this year, recording the highest opening day collections for a film released this year. Ahead of Kick and a record that even Bang Bang couldn’t beat.

Saif Ali Khan (1 year back, Bullett Raja) – Saif is badly in need of a hit film. Humshakals took a good opening at the box office, but failed to sustain.

Imran Khan (1 year back, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein) – Imran has completely disappeared after the Gori Tera Pyaar Mein debacle last year. Not only was his much-awaited film Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaraa a failure, but his performance too was severely criticised both by the audience and critics. Can he make a comeback with Nikhil Advani’s Katti Batti?

Akshay Kumar (Exactly a year ago, Boss) – For an actor who consistently does 3-4 films every year, Akshay’s success-ratio is pretty good. His last failure was Boss last year, which tanked because it was sold for a high price and released two weeks before Diwali. 2014 has been good – Holiday: A Solider Is Never Off Duty did well and Entertainment was a decent 70-crore grosser too.

Ranbir Kapoor (1 year back, Besharam in October 2013) – Ranbir looked unstoppable after back-to-back successes in Rockstar, Barfi and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Then came Besharam from the director of Salman Khan’s Dabangg. It took a huge start at the box office recording nearly 20 cr on its opening day, but the crash was equally big. His keenly awaited film Bombay Velvet has also been delayed, insiders say the film hasn’t shaped up too well. No release for Ranbir this year.

Emraan Hashmi (2 months back, Raja Natwarlal) – Emraan was enjoying the peak of his popularity and stardom when he decided to take a break from Mahesh Bhatt’s brand of cinema. He instead opted to explore different genres and work with bigger banners. What followed were films like Shanghai, Ek Thi Daayan, Ghanchakkar and Raja Natwarlal. Nothing worked. The much-delayed Ungli looks promising though.

  • all top 5 actors are doing very well….but hrithik is the best…all his 5 films are different and now mohenjodaro…..best of luck hr

  • @indicine shanghai released before raaz 3 .. Plz correct… Since raaz3,only 3 under-performers – etd,ghanchakkar n raja natwarlal. Though sites declared etd n ghanchakkar as average.

  • Dont compare Aamir wid anybody…if u want to compare,compare b/w srk/Akshay.But keep Aamir aside. AAmir is more than BO..

    Nobody else can beat him be it BO or quality. He has given some of d greatest movies of Bwd .

  • There are 2 type of people. .

    1. The one who like Aamir. .

    2. The one who claim that they hate Aamir, but still watch his movies secretly.

  • 10 hits in a row for Shahrukh Khan [Consistency Redefined…] If u are talking about consecutive hit with quality then you are talking about Shahrukh Khan — the only king of Bollywood ;)

    And if you exclude Paheli and Swdes (one of the best film in B’wood ) then SRK has 17 Superhit/Blockbuster/ATBB to his credit from 2000-2013 . [Even Paheli got the oscar’s attention] :D

    SRK you are truely brilliant… GOd Bless u…

  • Shahrukh has been easily the most conistent actor over the years.. No doubt he has proved his versatility too by giving hits in every possible genre!

    people who compare SRK and Salman/Aamir should understand the fact that when it comes to consistency or making meaningful cinema or Filmfare Best Actor award , honours,Acchievemnts, Most ATBB in overseas or playing strong characters, Salman and Aamir does not stand a chance but SRK on any given day can destroy BO records…

    SRK the Biggest Mega star of bollywood….!

  • SALMAN VS SRK VS AMIR VS HRITHIK VS AKKI VS AJAY VS RANBIR

    BEST ACTING(INTENSITY):Hrithik/Ajay/SRK

    BEST ACTING(VERSATILITY):hrithik/Amir/SRK

    BEST LOOKS: Hrithik

    BEST PHYSIQUE: Hrithik

    BEST QUALITY FILMS: Amir/Hrithik

    BEST DANCE: Hrithik

    BEST ACTION: AKKI/Hrithik

    Over all, Hrithik rules in all catagories.

  • Aamir and HR do films sporadically..so there is always a good build up and anticipation for their films,so chances of their film being flop are too less..
    Salman is enjoying his career peak at the moment,
    Srk is Mr. Consistent…

  • SRK last Flop was Pheli 9 years Back and Chotu last biggest Flop was Talaash 2 years back…. and Salman last Biggest flop/disaster was Jai ho some months before [:P] …………. Proved who is better and biggest star…

    That’s why SRK is the King…..

  • Ohh i see Imran Kham here after a long time…
    I think his career is almost finish with the advent of Varun,Sid,arjun,ranveer who have now cemented their place quite well..
    Imran khan will end up being a Abhishek Bachchan,who has to survive on multistarrers for success..

    • @Babaji, Imran will find it difficult to even get multi-starrers. Abhishek still gets films because he is Bachchan and a decent actor too. Imran needs Aamir quickly before he fades away.

  • hey, why u didn’t include tiger shroff, none of his films are flop yet. lol ……
    weird list, specially for the 7-9th position. they are probably not yet as popular as abhishek bacchan. just some backup from big studios. so this list actually proves nothing at all

  • @indicine u quoted producer statement and called highway a hit. In the same way, shanghai was quoted as a hit by producers. It was released alonside rowdy rathore craze. Highway and shanghai had approx same screen count and same collections also. Shanghai released 2 yrs ago. Etd n ghanchakkar declared average / bw

  • @Legend Khan : Though I don’t reply generally, but I found your comments funny so only replying:)

    Legend Khan (October 16, 2014 at 10:16 pm) :
    SRK last flop -RA-ONE
    Amir last flop -Mela

    Legend Khan (October 16, 2014 at 10:19 pm) :
    Don’t compare Amir with anyone. If you want compare srk and Akshay.

    Man, are you only concerned about uttering shit?? How can you contradict your own comments that too so shamelessly? And for you, Ra-one became a flop but above average Talaash became a hit??
    No offense to Amir, but I’m feeling pity that he has some moronic fans like you.
    You are right, he has his own league and I respect him a lot for that. But a moron like you nowhere fits into that league and I’m amused that how can you claim that you are an Amir fan with such a narrow mind set. Grow up!!!

  • I think Akki is developing a good script selection now…
    After some terrible films like tashan,cc2c,KI,TMK,blue..he has good script sense..
    Films like Baby,gabbar,Brothes,SIB should do well..

  • @Legend Khan DhobiGhat was a Flop Check BOI
    aya bda More than BO krnewala…

    R log to do type ke hai duniya me :

    1) who Love SRK 2 death
    2) Hate SRK like Hell cos deyr nothng bt jealous abt him..:p

    SRK :*

  • Shah Rukh Khan has been easily the most conistent actor over the years.. No doubt he has proved his versatility too by giving hits in every possible genre!

  • Considering bang bang collections and wom it got one can say that Hrithik now is in a league where he can consistently deliver hits like khans. But I think he will take risks with his roles and experiment to give audience something new everytime.

  • SRK is the epitome of consistency.
    & indicine .. Come On ! its a fact .. Mangal Pandey was a huge flop .. & so was Dhobi Ghat.
