Bollywood Movies Which We Loved But Bombed At Box Office
Bollywood films are a big gamble, you never know when a movie is hit or flop. It's like this big question mark, that no one knows the answer too. For example Bobby Jasoos, the movie received good reviews from critics and people, it has Vidya Balan in the lead, some amazing songs, yet it failed to make some good moolah at the Box Office. Why?
Bobby Jasoos was a highly anticipated movie with a lot riding on Vidya Balan's performance but according to trade experts, the film didn't garner as much money, which seems extremely sad, considering how good the movie was. Dia Mirza who made this movie with much ambition too must have been disappointed due to its poor performance at the Box Office.
Many such good movies simply go unnoticed by the people and end up baring this wrath with the Box Office result. Agneepath was recently remade with Hrithik Roshan essaying the role of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan which was earlier reprised by Amitabh Bachchan.
Agneepath is a 1990 Hindi crime drama film directed by Mukul Anand. It stars Amitabh Bachchan as the main protagonist Vijay Deenanath Chauhan along with Mithun Chakraborty, Madhavi, Neelam Kothari, Rohini Hattangadi and Danny Denzongpa as the antagonist Kancha Cheena. The film was produced by Yash Johar. While the original failed, the remake made good moolah.
The remake was released in 2012 with Sanjay Dutt reprising Danny's role, the movie matched up to it's name and did extremely well at the BO. No other actor could have steeped in to the shoes of Amitabh Bachchan apart from Hrithik. He truly did justice to the role, but unlike Agneepath which was remade, there have been several good movies that just lost it's way. Let's check out such good Bollywood movies which we loved but bombed at the Box Office.
