Meet actor whose debut film was superhit, than delivered 7 flops in a row, later made a comeback with Rs 400 crore hit, his name is..., film is...
This actor entered the world of cinema with dreams of becoming a leading hero, but fate had different plans. Despite giving his best, he faced one failure after another, 11 films that couldn't win the audience. Just when his career seemed to be slipping into oblivion, a multi-starrer film came his way, not as the hero, but as the antagonist. Ironically, it was the dark shade of the villain's role that illuminated his talent. That performance not only won hearts but also resurrected his journey in Bollywood, proving, 'you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.' Bollywood Actor Arjun Kapoor
Here we are talking about Arjun Kapoor, who began his career with the hit film 'Ishaqzaade' in 2012. Despite a strong start, several of his subsequent films, such as 'Aurangzeb' and 'Finding Fanny', struggled at the box office, with only 'Gunday' and 'Two States' performing moderately well. After experiencing 7 consecutive flops, he revitalized his career by taking on a villain role in 'Singham Again'. This shift shows that embracing darker characters can lead to a successful comeback. However, his list of unsuccessful films includes 'Finding Fanny', 'Tevar', 'Mubarakan', 'Namaste England', 'India's Most Wanted', 'Panipat', 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar', and 'Half Girlfriend', which was average. Other films like 'Ki & Ka', 'Kuttey', 'Ek Villain Returns', and 'Lady Killer' also contributed to the decline of Arjun Kapoor's career. Arjun Kapoor as an Antagonist
Following this period, Arjun Kapoor decided to portray a villain on the big screen. His performance in Rohit Shetty's action thriller 'Singham Again' garnered significant attention. In the movie, he excelled in the role of the villain Danger Lanka, providing tough competition to Ajay Devgn's iconic character Bajirao Singham. Released in 2024, the action-thriller marked a turning point, making Arjun Kapoor a star once more. The film also featured other prominent actors, including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh. The total earnings of the film worldwide reached Rs 400 crore. Arjun Kapoor's Recently Released Film
Arjun Kapoor's film 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' was released in 2025. Alongside him, Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh played lead roles. Unfortunately, the movie received mixed reviews from critics, and the audience did not respond well to the story. As a result, it flopped at the box office.
Made at a cost of Rs 60 crore, 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' underperformed upon release. According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, the film earned Rs 9.38 crore in India, with total worldwide earnings of Rs 12.73 crore. The verdict for Arjun Kapoor's 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' is a flop.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office: Aamir Khan starrer takes a flight, soaring to USD 2M in 2 days
Sitaare Zameen Par recorded a big uptick in collections on Saturday, grossing USD 1.25 million (Rs. 10.75 crore). The two-day running cume stands at USD 2.10 million (Rs. 18 crore), which, a couple of days back, seemed like it would be a struggle for the weekend to achieve. The Aamir Khan starrer is now on track to gross over USD 3 million weekend, possibly closer to USD 3.50 million if Sunday holds strong. The growth was massive all across the board for the film, right from Australia in the East to North America in the West, most of them jumping 60 to 70 per cent from Friday. UAE remained the top market, raking in close to USD 400K on Saturday, which is a pretty good sum. Australia also neared the AUD 200K mark, when on Thursday night it seemed hard to cross the AUD 100K on the first day. The United States also saw growth, a bit lower than others, at 50 per cent, as Friday was a partial holiday, although the numbers there could have been higher. North of it, Canada had the best growth, nearly doubling from Friday, as summer breaks are late to kick in here. The film had a soft start on Friday; in fact, the weekend total would still be below par, but it's the extraordinary trend that is an absolute plus and sets the film up for a potentially big final number. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani had a similar sort of start two years back, opening to USD 4 million and then legged to USD 20 million final. For Sitaare Zameen Par, the first target will be to cross the USD 10 million mark, which now seems quite easy. A USD 15 million plus final seems like a good target, but that would need some really strong holds in the coming weeks. The film managed better jumps on Saturday than RARKPK did, which at the moment, makes it very feasible.

Kuberaa recorded a strong 66.19% occupancy for its Telugu version and is performing better in Telugu than in Tamil. As far as the worldwide collection is concerned, the movie grossed Rs 27.5 crore on its first day. The Sekhar Kammula directorial has already surpassed the $1.2 million mark in North America, signalling a solid overseas performance. The numbers are expected to rise significantly on Sunday. Dhanush's previous film Raayan earned Rs 27.04 crore in two days, and Kuberaa has already surpassed it. SCREEN gave Kubera 3.5 stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'While the Dhanush and Nagarjuna-starrer is not without its share of missteps, the film still holds its own because of a discerning filmmaker and his sincere ensemble cast.' Backed by Suniel Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao, Kuberaa is the story of a beggar named Deva (Dhanush) who crosses paths with a former CBI officer, Deepak Tej (Nagarjuna), in an encounter that changes his life. Along the way, he also meets Sameera (Rashmika), a woman stranded in Mumbai and looking for a way out. Jim plays the corrupt CEO of a rich corporation called Neeraj Mitra.
