Ever had that cringe-worthy moment when your favorite actors took a detour into cinematic disasters? We’ve all been there! From A-listers to fan-favorites, we’ve compiled a list of 10 Bad Movies That Good Actors Did, leaving us questioning our loyalty and enduring the pain of being their die-hard fans. Brace yourselves for a rollercoaster of regrettable film choices that might make you reconsider your fandom!
1. Alia Bhatt ‘Sadak 2’
Alia Bhatt, known for her stellar performances in movies like ‘Gangubai’ and ‘Gully Boy,’ unfortunately fell short of expectations in ‘Sadak 2.’ The film, which was expected to mark Mahesh Bhatt’s comeback, is now more remembered for Alia’s disappointing performance. It’s evident that the movie didn’t quite align with her usual standards, and instead of being a triumphant return for Mahesh Bhatt, it became a showcase of Alia Bhatt’s underwhelming acting in the eyes of many.
2. Hrithik Roshan ‘ Prem Ki Deewani’ and ‘Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage’Â
Hrithik Roshan, the fantastic actor behind hits like ‘Koi Mil Gaya,’ ‘War,’ and ‘Bang Bang,’ took a misstep with disappointing performances in ‘Prem Ki Deewani’ and ‘Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage.’ His overacting and awkward expressions left us cringing, and it was a letdown compared to his usual stellar work. Despite his impressive filmography, these particular movies showcased a side of Hrithik that didn’t quite resonate with fans, leading to a sense of disappointment in his acting choices.
3. Ranbir Kapoor ‘Shamshera’
Ranbir Kapoor, the incredible actor who delivered gems like ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani,’ ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,’ ‘Wake Up Sid,’ ‘Rockstar,’ ‘Animal,’ unfortunately let us down with his recent choice in ‘Shamshera.’ The movie’s content was subpar, and the editing didn’t do it any favors. It’s high time Ranbir starts being more discerning about the scripts he chooses. With his talent, he owes it to himself and his fans to ensure a better match between his skills and the project he takes on.
4. Ranveer Singh ‘Cirkus’
Ranveer Singh, the phenomenal actor known for ‘Bajirao Mastani,’ ‘Padmaavat,’ and ‘Gully Boy,’ unfortunately missed the mark with ‘Cirkus.’ His performance was rather forgettable, lacking any standout moments. There’s not much to rave about, making it a disappointment compared to his previous memorable roles.
5. Akshay Kumar ‘Prithviraj’
Akshay Kumar, known for his brilliance in films like ‘Hera Pheri,’ ‘Airlift,’ and ‘OMG: Oh My God!,’ sadly missed the mark in ‘Prithviraj.’ The casting seemed off, as he appeared more like Bala from the ‘Housefull’ series than Prithviraj Chauhan. Throughout the entire movie, his expressions were unintentionally amusing, making it hard to take the performance seriously. It’s safe to say this role didn’t quite showcase the best of Akshay’s acting prowess.
6. Shah Rukh Khan ‘Zero’
Shah Rukh Khan, the Bollywood king, has given us iconic movies like ‘Chak De! India,’ ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,’ and ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho.’ However, he left fans disheartened with the movie ‘Zero.’ The film turned out to be a disaster due to its poor storytelling, not living up to the high expectations set by SRK’s previous masterpieces.
7. Aamir Khan ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’Â
Aamir Khan, the incredible actor known for classics like ‘3 Idiots,’ ‘Dangal,’ and ‘Rang De Basanti,’ didn’t quite hit the mark with ‘Lal Singh Chaddha.’ Some felt let down due to what appeared to be overacting on Aamir’s part. In a departure from his usual finesse, the performance left some fans wishing for the subtlety and charm they’ve come to expect from this Bollywood maestro.
8. Kangana Ranaut ‘Tejas’
Kangana Ranaut, known for her stellar roles in films like ‘Queen’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns,’ unfortunately fell short in ‘Tejas.’ Her performance left audiences disappointed, as it seemed like she wasn’t putting in much effort from an acting standpoint. It felt like she just wasn’t trying, and it was a letdown for fans who expected more from this talented actor.
9. Prabhas ‘Adipurush’
Prabhas, the incredible actor who wowed us with ‘Baahubali,’ didn’t quite live up to the hype in ‘Adipurush.’ His performance felt average, and the storytelling, coupled with cringe-worthy dialogues, left much to be desired. It’s safe to say that this outing didn’t match the high expectations set by his previous blockbuster, and fans were left somewhat disappointed.
10. Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan ‘Kalank’
Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, two incredibly talented actors behind hits like ‘Badlapur’ and ‘Gangubai,’ left audiences underwhelmed with their performance in ‘Kalank.’ Their acting was just average, failing to meet the expectations set by their previous collaborations. In this case, the on-screen magic that worked before seemed to fall short in the context of ‘Kalank.
