Unfortunately,
Karan
Malhotra's
latest
directorial
Shamshera
featuring
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Vaani
Kapoor
and
Sanjay
Dutt
in
the
lead
roles,
tanked
at
the
box
office.
Despite
being
a
mega-budget
film,
it
failed
to
woo
the
audience
in
theatres.
While
almost
everyone
lauded
Kapoor
for
his
impeccable
performance
in
the
film,
they
dissed
its
screenplay,
story
and
direction.
Now,
the
film
is
streaming
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
and
it
is
available
in
Hindi
along
with
Tamil
and
Telugu
language
dubs.
On
a
related
note,
netizens
had
higher
expectations
from
Shamshera,
as
the
film
marked
the
comeback
of
Ranbir
to
the
silver
screen
after
good
four
years.
Sadly,
his
comeback
failed
to
attract
footfalls
to
theatres.
Many
film
critics
and
trade
analysts
like
Taran
Adarsh,
Rohit
Jaiswal,
Sumit
Kadel,
etc.,
dissed
the
film
and
rated
it
with
two
stars.
While
speaking
to
Firstpost,
a
respected
film
exhibitor
Suman
Sinha
said,
"Old
wine,
old
bottle,
old
formula,
Ranbir
wasted.
Where
is
the
audience
to
watch
such
an
oft-repeated
storyline?
Lord
Krishna
with
his
own
hands
submerged
Dwarka
because
it
was
beyond
redemption.
Bollywood
too
is
beyond
redemption
because
the
men
in
control
have
no
clue
of
the
present
scenario.
Subhash
Ghai,
O
P
Ralhan,
J
Om
Prakash
knew
and
they
withdrew
gracefully.
It's
time
for
Karan
Johar
and
Aditya
Chopra
to
abdicate
the
throne."
Shamshera
arrived
in
theatres
on
July
22,
2022.
