9. Main Atal Hoon: Biography Misfire

Pankaj Tripathi’s portrayal of former Indian Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee in “Main Atal Hoon” was expected to be a cinematic triumph. The film, however, failed to deliver.

The biographical drama didn’t offer new insights into Vajpayee’s life, making it less compelling for viewers. Moreover, insufficient promotion meant that many potential audience members were unaware of its release.

8. Crakk: Sports Thriller Falls Short

“Crakk,” starring Vidyut Jamwal and Arjun Rampal, was a sports thriller that aimed to captivate with intense action and drama. However, the film fell flat due to its weak script and underwhelming direction.

The sports sequences, which should have been the highlight, were poorly executed and lacked the necessary excitement. Additionally, the characters were not well-developed, making it hard for the audience to connect with their journeys. This resulted in the film failing to leave a lasting impression.

7. Dange: A Hidden Gem Lost

Harshvardhan Rane’s “Dange” was another film that couldn’t make an impact due to inadequate publicity. Despite having a potentially interesting plot, the movie went unnoticed by many.

The lack of a strong marketing campaign meant that even those interested in the genre were unaware of its release. This oversight in promotion led to a minimal audience turnout, causing the film to fail at the box office.

6. Yodha: Generic Storyline Fails to Engage

Sidharth Malhotra’s “Yodha” was expected to be a blockbuster but ended up being a major disappointment. The primary issue was its generic and predictable storyline, which failed to offer anything new to the viewers.

Critics and audiences alike found the plot to be weak and uninspired, with clichéd dialogues and unremarkable action sequences. Without any unique selling points, the film couldn’t sustain audience interest, leading to its downfall.

5. Bastar: The Naxal Story – Under the Radar

“Bastar: The Naxal Story” had an intriguing premise centered around the Naxal movement, but it didn’t manage to attract viewers. The film’s failure was largely due to poor publicity and limited release.

Despite its potential to shed light on a significant socio-political issue, the lack of marketing meant it remained under the radar for most moviegoers. Additionally, the execution of the story didn’t live up to expectations, contributing to its poor performance.

4. Mr. and Mrs. Mahi: Sports Romance Misfire

“Mr. and Mrs. Mahi,” starring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, was a sports romance film that couldn’t find its footing. The movie struggled due to a lackluster screenplay that failed to effectively blend sports and romance.

Critics pointed out that the chemistry between the leads was insufficient to carry the film, and the sports elements were not compelling enough to draw in fans of the genre. This imbalance led to its failure to resonate with the audience.

3. Maidaan: Unsuccessful Sports Drama

Ajay Devgn’s “Maidaan” was another sports drama that didn’t perform as expected. Based on the inspiring true story of a football coach, the film had the potential to be a hit. However, its execution fell short.

The narrative was criticized for being too slow and unengaging, with many feeling that the emotional high points were not effectively portrayed. This resulted in the film failing to generate excitement and interest among viewers, leading to disappointing box office results.

2. Ruslaan: Lackluster Execution

“Ruslaan,” starring Ayush Sharma, was a major flop due to its lackluster execution. The film’s convoluted plot and poorly developed characters were major turn-offs for audiences.

Critics highlighted that the movie failed to provide a coherent storyline or engaging character arcs, making it difficult for viewers to stay invested. Despite some action-packed sequences, the overall narrative didn’t come together, leading to its box office failure.

1. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan: Big Budget, Big Disappointment

“Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” featuring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, was one of the most anticipated films of 2024. With a big budget and star-studded cast, expectations were high. However, the film ended up being a major disappointment.

The lack of a cohesive plot, over-reliance on star power, and excessive action sequences without substance were major criticisms. Audiences found the film to be a superficial spectacle lacking depth, which led to its failure at the box office.

These films, despite their potential and star power, couldn’t resonate with the audience, marking 2024 as a year of significant disappointments for Bollywood.
