Yearender 2023: Biggest Bollywood box office bombs of this year
Selfiee
Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi failed to impress the audience. The movie released in theatres on February 24th was not able to rake in big numbers and has been a huge commercial failure. The film earned only Rs 23 crore (Rs 230 million) at the box office.
Shehzada
Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon's Shehzada was one of the biggest disappointments when it came to box office numbers. Directed by Rohit Dhawan, the movie, which was the official Hindi remake of Allu Arjun's film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, raked in Rs 47 crore (Rs 470 million).
Bheed
Anubhav Sinha's hard-hitting film Bheed took the audience back to the grim time of the COVID-19 lockdown, when the migrant crisis gripped India during the lockdown in 2020. The movie earned positive reviews from critics but underperformed at the box office and ended up earning Rs 3.33 crore (Rs 30 million) at the box office.
Mission Raniganj
Despite being critically acclaimed, Akshay Kumar's Mission Raniganj underperformed at the box office. Based on an actual incident, in the gripping drama, Kumar plays Jaswant Singh Gill, who led the rescue mission and saved the lives of 65 miners. The film was only able to rake in Rs 45 crore (Rs 450 million).
Kuttey
Arjun Kapoor and Tabu chaotic movie was one of the biggest disasters of 2023. Coming from Vishal Bharadwaj's son Aasmaan, the movie failed miserably and earned around Rs. 4.65 crore (Rs 46.5 million).
Zwigato
Comedian-turned-actor, Kapil Sharma's film earned plaudits for the critical message that the movie delivered. But, the Nandita Das directorial failed to earn big numbers at the box office. The movie earned Rs 3 crore (Rs 30 million) at the box office.
Ghoomer
R Balki’s sports drama Ghoomer starring Abhishek Bachchan, and Saiyami Kher tells a heartwarming yet inspiring story of Anina, who aspires to play for the Indian cricket team one day but loses her arm in a brutal accident. The movie earned rave reviews from the critics. But, failed to create a mark at the box office. The movie earned Rs 7 crore (Rs 70 million) at the box office.
Ganapath: A Hero is Born
Tiger Shroff's Ganapath: A Hero is Born was another big warning of why Bollywood needs to prioritise the quality of the content and what they are serving to the audience. Starring Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, and Amitabh Bachchan, the movie with a hard-to-understand plot and weak screenplay earned the tag of the worst film of the year.
