2022 is a year when we were left surprised with some really great performances by underrated actors. Be it, Jeetendra Kumar, from Panchayat, or Shefali Shah from Delhi Crime, many left us impressed with their heart-touching acting skills. While underrated actors left us impressed, there were many superstars who left us disappointed with their ridiculous portrayal of characters.
Here are 8 times when Bollywood superstars left us disappointed in 2022 with their acting skills.
1. Aamir Khan in Laal Singh Chaddha
180 Crore Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha was one of the most awaited movies of recent times. A remake of the popular Hollywood movie Forrest Gump, Laal Singh Chaddha couldn’t impress the audience at all and bombed miserably at the box office. Some fans were so disappointed that they took to social media calling LSC Aamir Khan’s worst movie to date.
Some people were very offended by his portrayal of the lead character with disabilities:
2. Akshay Kumar in Samrat Prithviraj
Akshay Kumar’s portrayal of Samrat Prithviraj left many disappointed. Many took to social media to share how Akshay Kumar’s casting as Samrat Prithviraj was a blunder, which may be one of the many reasons behind the failure of this big-budget movie. Netizens took to social media to share how 54-year-old Akshay Kumar played the role of Prithviraj Chauhan – the king who died in his 20s.
Many netizens called the movie ridiculous as it was full of countless blunders as well.
3. Alia Bhatt in Brahmastra
No one can deny that Alia Bhatt is a great actress and she has given us some really great movies like Gangubai Kathiawadi and Darlings this year. But, sadly, her portrayal as Isha in Brahmastra left many disappointed. Many people took to social media to share their disappointment. Many netizens felt that Alia had only one dialogue in 410 Cr Brahmastra which was ‘Shiva’.
4. Akshay Kumar in Rakshabandhan
Another movie where Akshay Kumar left his fans disappointed was Rakshabandhan and that’s the reason why movie miserably bombed at the box-office.
5. Hrithik Roshan in Vikram Vedha
Hrithik Roshan as Vedha in Vikram Vedha couldn’t bring the audience to the theatres. Many felt that Vijay Sethupati played the role of Vedha much better in the original than Hrithik in the remake.
6. Kangana Ranaut in Dhaakad
Kangana Ranaut is another superstar who has given us some really power-packed performances. But, her portrayal as Agent Agni in Dhaakad left people unimpressed. While Kangana was seen heavily promoting her movie, it’s a pity the way the movie bombed at the box office. Directed by Razy, the movie made at a budget of Rs 100 Crores, earned only INR 2.38 Crores.
7. Tiger Shroff in Heropanti 2
With super successful movies like War, Tiger Shroff built his own fan following. But, his fans were left so disappointed with Heropanti 2 that they took to social media to express their thoughts. Many criticized Tiger Shroff for his unimpressive acting skills.
8. Ranbir Kapoor in Shamshera
Ranbir Kapoor made a comeback after 4 years in 2022 with INR 150 Crores movie Shamshera. While many were excited about his comeback but his portrayal of Shamshera left the audience unimpressed. Many even called the movie worse than Thugs of Hindustan. Lousy screenplay and a lack of people’s interest to see Ranbir Kapoor as Shamshera turned this big-budget movie into a disaster.
