Redditors Discuss 5 Dharma Films That Flopped At The Box Office
1. Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship
Directed by Bhanu Pratap Singh, the film features Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles. However, the strong actors couldn’t save the film from failing at the box office. The film received negative reviews and was declared a commercial failure. The Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar starter film collected 38.06 crore in India and 2.88 crore overseas. Furthermore, the film collected a total gross collection of ₹40.94 crore.
2. Liger
Liger starring Vijay Devarakonda and Ananya Panday in leading roles, failed miserably at the box office. Moreover, the film was labelled as a box office disaster. The film was released on August 25, 2022, and collected a total of 60.80 crore with a budget of 90 crore. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, Redditors listed the film as one of the box office failures by Dharma productions.
3. Jugjugg Jeeyo
Directed by Raj Mehta, this film received mixed reactions from the critics and audience. The case includes Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Singh playing the lead characters. However, Reddit added the reason behind the flop by stating, “Because they keep treating movie making as mass production assembly line which produces trash in the hope that some of it will not be considered trash. Also, keep making trash with trashy nepos so that they stay relevant. Works both ways.” Moreover, the film collected a decent amount of 101.23 crore in India and 136.13 crore worldwide.
4. Yodha
Yodha, directed by Pushkar Ojha and Sagar Ambre released on March 15, 2024. The film features Sidharth Malhotra, Raashii Khanna and Disha Patani. With a budget (reportedly) of 250 crores, the film was a disaster at the box office and could only collect 53 crores. Another reason a Redditor listed was, “They’re dwindling because favouritism is more significant than actual talent, whether it be in terms of writers or actors.”
5. Mr. & Mrs. Mahi
Directed by Sharan Sharma, the film stars Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles. Despite the high expectations, the film failed to impress the audience. Mr. & Mrs. Mahi collected a total of 42.63 crores in India and achieved a total collection of 51.40 crores. A Reddit user said, ” There’s no variety?! Har film mei love ghusa rahe h, arre bhai romcom se to bahar niklo kuch aur risk to lo!” What do you think could be the actual reason?
