8 Bollywood Movies That Were Box Office Disasters But Could Be Huge Theatrical Hits Today

by IForHer Team
June 24, 2023

Bollywood, like any other film industry, has had its fair share of movies that struggled to make a mark at the box office during their initial release. However, with the passage of time and evolving audience preferences, some of these films have garnered a cult following and are now considered potential candidates for success if released in theaters today.

These movies, once labeled as box office disasters, possess elements that align more closely with contemporary tastes and sensibilities. From unconventional storytelling to thematic relevance, these films have the potential to captivate audiences and emerge as superhits in the present-day cinema landscape. In this article, we will explore eight such Bollywood box office disasters that, if given a chance for a theatrical release today, may have the potential to shine and leave a lasting impact on moviegoers.

1. Lakshya (2004)

Directed by Farhan Akhtar, “Lakshya” initially received a lukewarm response at the box office. The film follows the journey of a directionless young man played by Hrithik Roshan, who finds purpose and meaning in life when he joins the Indian Army. While it didn’t achieve significant commercial success upon release, “Lakshya” has garnered appreciation over time for its realistic portrayal of personal growth, patriotism, and the emotional journey of the protagonist. The film’s impactful performances, soulful music, and its exploration of themes such as self-discovery and commitment have earned it a dedicated fanbase.

2. Andaz Apna Apna (1994)

This comedy film, featuring an ensemble cast of Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, and Karisma Kapoor, didn’t receive much commercial success upon release. However, its hilarious dialogues and timeless humor have since gained a cult following, making it a potential hit in today’s era of nostalgic content.

3. Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009)

Despite receiving critical acclaim, this film failed to attract a large audience during its initial release. Its portrayal of a young man’s struggle in the corporate world would likely strike a chord with today’s generation.

4. Swades (2004)

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, this film about an NRI returning to his roots and working for the betterment of his village had limited success at the box office. Its patriotic themes and emphasis on social change might have struck a chord with the current wave of nationalism and social activism.

5. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983)

A satirical comedy that was ahead of its time and struggled to find an audience upon its release. Its sharp social commentary and witty humor could have resonated better with today’s audience.

6. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!” (2015)

Despite receiving critical acclaim for its unique storytelling and stylish noir aesthetics, this detective thriller didn’t fare well commercially during its release. Over time, however, people have come to appreciate its intricate plot, atmospheric setting, and Sushant Singh Rajput’s portrayal of the titular character. The film’s cult following has grown, recognizing it as a hidden gem in Bollywood.

7. Sooryavansham (1999)

This film, starring Amitabh Bachchan in a dual role, had a lackluster performance at the box office upon release. However, it has gained considerable attention in the online world, with countless memes and parodies revolving around its repetitive telecast on television. The movie’s popularity as a source of amusement and nostalgia has soared over the years. Won’t be surprised if people may just go to halls to make fun of the movie and make it a superhit!

8. Meri Pyaari Bindu” (2017)

This romantic comedy-drama starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra received mixed reviews and struggled to make a mark at the box office. One of the reasons for its Bollywood failure was its unconventional ending, which deviated from the typical happy endings. However, today’s audience is more accepting of imperfect yet realistic conclusions, and the film has found a growing appreciation for its relatable characters, nostalgic elements, and heartfelt moments.
