Kites
by
Anurag
Basu,
takes
away
the
title
for
the
most-hyped
film
of
2010.
Made
with
a
budget
of
Rs.60
crore
and
oodles
of
controversies,
the
Hrithik
Roshan,
Barbara
Mori
starrer
bombed
at
the
box
office.
It
was
not
just
the
language
that
created
a
barrier
with
the
audience
but
the
story
too
lacked
soul.
The
steamy
scenes
and
the
sexy
dance
moves
of
the
leading
pair
could
not
save
Kites
from
falling
flat
on
the
ground.
Second
on
the
list
is
Mani
Ratnam"s
Rs.100
crore
magnum
opus
Raavan.
For
almost
a
year
before
the
release
of
the
movie,
Raavan
had
been
a
favourite
with
the
tabloids
with
news
and
updates.
This
film
had
high
hopes
riding
on
its
back
as
it
was
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan"s
next
release
with
Mani
Ratnam
after
the
blockbuster
Guru.
But
Junior
Bachchan
was
not
convincing
enough
as
the
10
headed
Raavan,
and
that
was
the
major
reason
for
the
failure
of
this
box
office
dud.
An
underwater
thriller,
Blue,
made
with
a
budget
of
Rs.
100
crore
was
a
total
box
office
disaster.
A
weak
script
and
not
so
impressive
performances
by
its
stars
made
this
multi-starrer
face
box
office
blues.
A.R.
Rahman"s
music,
Lara
Dutta"s
bikinis
and
a
cameo
by
Katrina
Kaif
could
not
save
this
film
from
drowning.
The
much
awaited
retro
flick,
Action
Replayy,
too
failed
to
make
much
noise
at
the
box
office.
Made
with
a
budget
of
Rs.22.50
crore,
this
Akshay
Kumar
and
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
starrer
film
lacked
humour
and
drama.
