In the unpredictable world of Bollywood, even the most celebrated stars face the highs and lows of box office performance. Today, we explore the list of Bollywood stars who recently found themselves in a ‘Flop Fest,’ delivering consecutive films that struggled to make any impact, thereby creating new records in the industry. Here are 7 actors who have given flops back-to-back recently and have created a new record.
1. Kriti Sanon (6 Flops since last commercial hit)
Kriti Sanon’s last successful venture at the box office was “Housefull 4” in 2019. Subsequently, her films have faced challenges at the box office, with titles like “Panipat,” “Bachchhan Paandey,” “Bhediya,” “Shehzada,” “Adipurush,” and “Ganpath: A Hero is Born” not achieving the expected commercial success. However, we hope that her upcoming project opposite Shahid Kapoor, “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,” could serve as a turning point in her career.Â
2. Akshay Kumar ( 7 back-to-back flops since last commercial hit)
Akshay Kumar has faced challenges at the box office with his recent films, and his last major success was “Sooryavanshi”. Following that, he experienced a setback with many films – Laxmii, Bachchan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu, Selfie, and Mission Raniganj. While OMG 2 did good at the box office Kumar appeared in a guest appearance.
His next release, “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” and we hope that it will mark a positive turn in his career. Despite the recent dip, Akshay Kumar’s widespread popularity and versatility as an actor fuel optimism that this upcoming project will resonate well with audiences and bring about a successful phase in his box-office journey.
3. Salman Khan (4 flops since last commercial hit)
Salman Khan’s recent cinematic ventures have encountered challenges at the box office, with his last notable success being “Dabangg 3” in 2019. Following that release, he faced setbacks with four films, including “Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai,” “Antim: The Final Truth,” “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan,” and “Tiger 3.”Let’s hope his next movie will serve as a catalyst for a positive shift in his box-office venture.
4. Rajkummar Rao (10 Flops)
Rajkummar Rao’s recent films have faced challenges at the box office, with his last major success being “Stree” in 2018. Following that, he experienced a series of setbacks with ten films, including “Love Sonia,” “5 Weddings,” “Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga,” “Judgementall Hai Kya,” “Made in China,” “Shimla Mirchi,” “Roohi,” “Badhaai Ho,” “Hit: The First Case,” and “Bheed.” Despite this string of less successful releases, there’s a hopeful anticipation that his upcoming project, “Stree 2,” will serve as a turning point and bring a positive change in his fortunes. While the recent box office performances might not have met expectations, Rajkummar Rao’s undeniable talent and dedication to his craft inspire confidence that he will make a remarkable comeback.
5. Kangana Ranaut (5 Flops since last commercial hit)
Kangana Ranaut’s recent films have faced challenges at the box office, with her last major success being “Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi” in 2019. After that, she encountered setbacks with 5 films, including “Judgementall Hai Kya,” “Panga,” “Thalaivii,” “Dhaakad,” and “Tejas.” Her forthcoming project, “Tamil Vettaiyan,” will herald a positive turnaround in her fortunes, marking a compelling comeback.
