Liger to Cirkus, know the biggest flop movies of this year

At the box office, 2022 has delivered some of the biggest hits and colossal flops. Following the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, 2022 was a year of recovery for the entertainment industry. It was all about attracting audiences back to theatres and proving the power of compelling content. A few movies, though, fell short of accomplishing that. Even though Akshay Kumar had a bad year, Samrat Prithviraj will probably be remembered as one of his biggest failures. Similar to this, Dhaakad, starring Kangana Ranaut, set a record for lowest box office take for a Hindi film. Ranbir Kapoor had a year of extremes, and Ranveer Singh delivered his third straight box office flop with Cirkus.

Liger:

Vijay Deverakonda's Hindi debut, which cost 125 crore rupees to produce, failed miserably at the box office and only brought in 48.15 crore rupees. Alongside Vijay, Ananya Panday also appeared in the movie.

An Action Hero:

An Action Hero, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahalawat received praise for its actors and plot but did not fare well at the box office. Despite having a budget of Rs. 45 crore, it only made Rs. 10.83 crore.

Samrat Prithviraj:

The movie, which also featured former Miss World Manushi Chillar and starred Akshay Kumar, completely flopped at the box office. The movie, which had a huge 175 crore budget, only brought in 68 crore for the producers.

Jersey

After numerous delays, Shahid Kapoor's Jersey, which cost Rs 80 crore to produce, was finally released on April 22 of this year. The movie, which also starred Mrunal Thakur, only brought in a pitiful Rs 29 crore from ticket sales.

Heropanti 2:

Contrary to the prequel, the Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria movie was a huge box office failure. Despite having a Rs 90 crore budget, it only made about Rs 35 crore at the box office.

Dhaakad:

The budget for Razneesh Ghai's film Dhaakad starring Kangana Ranaut was Rs 85 crore. The movie will be remembered as one of the biggest flops in movie history. The overall box office collection of Dhaakad was Rs 2.85 crore.

Shamshera:

In Ranbir Kapoor's career, this year will be remembered for having completely opposite box office earnings. While Brahmastra was among the year's biggest blockbusters, his Shamshera bombed. The movie's budget was Rs 150 crore, but it only made back Rs 63.58 crore.

Laal Singh Chaddha:

Laal Singh Chaddha, directed by Advait Chandan and starring Aamir Khan, did not do well at the box office. According to reports, the movie's 186 crore rupee budget was not recouped. On social media, however, opinions about Laal Singh Chaddha were divided. In this official Hindi version of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya, and Mona Singh all play significant roles.

Thank God:

Helmed at a reported budget of Rs 100 crore, Thank God starred Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra, Nora Fatehi and Rakul Preet Singh in key roles. The film registered an earning of Rs 36.15 crore.

Bhediya:

Bhediya, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon's much-discussed film, reportedly had a 85 crore budget. However, the movie only managed to make Rs 65.84 crore at the box office.

Cirkus:

Rohit Shetty directed Cirkus was released on December 23 and Ranveer Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Pooja Hegde play major parts in the movie. However, the much-anticipated Christmas release did poorly at the box office.
