Salman Khan's biggest flop film, made in Rs 20 crore, earned just Rs..., even Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff failed to save it, film is..., Not Yuvvraaj, Marigold, Tubelight
Over the 30 years, Salman Khan has been one of the biggest box office attractions in Indian cinema. Since he started his acting career with Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), the actor has given some of the biggest blockbusters. Moreover, he also starred in South Indian remake films like Wanted, Ready, Kick and Jai Ho that became box office successes. However, there was one film that he worked in, which failed to make an impact both commercially and critically. Salman Khan's biggest Hindi flop was a remake of…
Released in 2005, the film was Kyon Ki. Starring well-known names like Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Om Puri, Suniel Shetty, Rimi Sen and Manoj Joshi, the film was reportedly the Hindi remake of the 1986 Malayalam film Thalavattam. Made in a budget of Rs 20 crore, the film could only gross Rs 17 crore in India, and Rs 22 crore worldwide.
Renowned Filmmaker Priyadarshan, who directed the Malayalam film, also made the Hindi one. Though the Malayalam version garnered significant success in theatres, the Hindi one became a huge flop, and received negative reviews from the critics and masses.
While Sunil Manchanda, and Mukesh Talreja bankrolled the film, Himesh Reshammiya composed all the songs. Famous singers like Kunal Ganjawala, Kailash Kher, Udit Narayan, Shaan and Alka Yagnik gave their vocals in film. Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar's Box Office Clash
Director Priyadarshan, whose other film Garam Masala , released around the same time during Diwali became a blockbuster. Starring Akshay Kumar and John Abraham, the film collected a total box office collection of over Rs 50 crore.
Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor collaborated for the first time in Kyon Ki. Later, the two worked in superhit films like Bodyguard and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Made for Rs 41 crore, this film was rejected by Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh, Aamir Khan, became a hit, earned Rs.. won 55 awards, lead actor is..
In 2013, a film hit theatres with the force of a storm — a story that didn't just touch hearts but rewrote box office history and award lists. It went on to win 55 awards, including two National Awards and a Filmfare Best Actor trophy. But what if we told you that this cinematic triumph was rejected by not one but three of Bollywood's top heroes? We're talking about Bhaag Milkha Bhaag , the sports biopic that immortalised India's 'Flying Sikh' — Milkha Singh — on the big screen. Directed by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra, the film eventually starred Farhan Akhtar in the lead, but the road to finding that perfect Milkha was full of U-turns. The rejected bids Rakesh Omprakash Mehra initially approached three leading actors: Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, and Ranveer Singh. Each passed: Hrithik Roshan, praised for intensity, was unavailable—'committed to Krrish,' Mehra recalls in his memoir The Stranger in the Mirror. Aamir Khan, conflicted after Rang De Basanti, bluntly said, 'this is not for me.' Ranveer Singh read the script, impressed with the character, but ultimately declined. Mehra admits, 'I never understood why.' Enter the perfect pick After those three rejections, Farhan Akhtar stepped in. Within just 15 minutes of hearing the concept, he was all in. His portrayal as the legendary runner Milkha Singh, supported by Divya Dutta, Pawan Malhotra, Yograj Singh, Prakash Raj—and a cameo by Sonam Kapoor—transformed the film completely. From Rs 30 cr budget to global hit Despite its modest Rs 30 crore budget, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag surpassed box-office expectations, earning Rs 108 crore net in India and Rs 168 crore globally, quintupling its investment. Awards galore Besides its massive box office success, the film swept awards — 55 in total — and solidified Farhan's place in Bollywood not just as an actor but a performer with serious depth. From rejections to record-breaker, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag wasn't just a movie — it was a race to the finish line that no one saw coming.

Film sets can't replicate the spirit of real locations: Director Rohit
For his upcoming film Ekka, starring Yuva Rajkumar and Sanjana Anand, director Rohit Padaki made a clear choice: to ground the movie in the raw reality of Bengaluru's busiest streets rather than the controlled environment of sets. 'Sets can never compete with what real locations can provide. There's an air of reality in every frame that you simply can't get from a set,' says the director. To achieve this level of authenticity, the film's team adopted a focused strategy. 'We shot in some of Bengaluru's busiest areas, like Shivaji Nagar, where we hid our cameras and filmed the scene; we wanted to make it look as real as possible. This method involved rehearsing scenes like theatre artistes, then moving to the actual locations for hidden-camera shoots. Nearly 30-40% of the film has been shot in this manner,' he reveals. Excerpts from a chat: 'KANNADA CINEMA IS DRIVEN BY A METROPOLITAN CULTURE' 'A metropolitan culture of filmmaking is taking over,' laments Rohit. He emphasises that for movies to truly succeed, the focus needs to shift back to strong writing, particularly one that embraces the 'native element which connects us to our roots.' The director points to other regional industries as examples. 'Take a look at Tamil or Malayalam movies; even though some of them are larger than life, they are still rooted in their culture. This connection is largely missing in Kannada cinema today because of the metropolitan culture of filmmaking, in most cases.' Earlier, the Kannada Film Industry used to make and release movies in short periods; it doesn't happen as often now Rohit Padaki 'WE TOOK ON A CHALLENGE TO FINISH THE MOVIE IN NINE MONTHS' Rohit adds that he found a unique advantage in a largely fresh team and an ambitious production timeline. 'Around 80 per cent of the crew and cast were new. It was a good experience working with them because everyone was very hungry for success. We took on a challenge to finish the movie, from start to finish, in nine months. I didn't want to waste too much time working on one movie,' he explains.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's 'big break' in Bollywood came when he featured in Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 2 in 2012. His portrayal of Faizal Khan received widespread praise. Since then, he never looked back.
