Year Ender 2022: Vikram Vedha To Jersey; 5 South Remakes Which Failed To Do Well At Box Office

Year Ender 2022 Flop South Remales Vikram Vedha Jersey

After the deadly coronavirus wave, theatres reopened in the second half of 2021 and Akshay Kumar-starrer Sooryavanshi turned out to be a huge hit. The film's success boosted the confidence of Bollywood filmmakers and everyone expected that 2022 will be a great year for the film industry.

However, the reality turned out to be totally opposite as only a handful of Hindi movies including Gangubai Kathiawadi, The Kashmir Files, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva, and Drishyam 2 doing well at the box office. Whereas, the majority of the films released in 2022 failed badly.

From Bachchhan Paandey to Drishyam 2, several Hindi remakes of hit South films also tried to revive the industry. However, only a few of them succeeded. As we're now all set to bid goodbye to the year, let's look at the list of South remakes that flopped badly at the box office in 2022.
