This year, many movies despite promising high results failed to enthuse audiences and Cineplex’s wore a deserted look. One of them was 8 x 10 Tasveer directed by acclaimed director Nagesh Kukunoor who has his credits movies like Hyderabad Blues, Dor and Iqbal. Movie even had the star presence of Akshay Kumar but despite that viewers rejected movie out rightly. Critics blame the presence of too many loopholes in the movie which was basically a thriller.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan had only one release this year and it was Billu Barber. Movie was based on Malayalam film Kadha Parayumbol and this was the first time Shahrukh and Priyadarshan had worked as a team but that too didn’t help the movie. It was too filmy and somehow the spark was missing. Despite the presence of some controversies and appealing items songs, movie sank at the box office.

The second half of the year had its hopes pinned on hit stars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena starrer Kurbaan but movie is perhaps one of the biggest flops of the year. Movie had every possible ingredient including tight script, good acting, good direction and songs and chemistry of real cum reel life couple yet movie sank without a trace. It’s hard to fathom what exactly viewers wanted.

Diwali witnessed release of three big movies in All The Best, Blue and Main Aurr Mrs Khanna. The last one mentioned had presence of bankable stars like Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Sohail Khan and yet movie was a bigger disaster than sunken Titanic. It is said that because of lack of response some theatres even had to cancel the shows. Salman experienced best of both the worlds in form of Wanted and Main Aurr Mrs Khanna. Hopefully, year 2010 will bring great news for all the bollywood fans and stars alike.

Looking back at this year, bollywood will not be very happy with its performance. Some of the big budget, big names flopped miserably at the box office. At the same time, some movies came out of nowhere and registered good business. Quite unexpectedly, some movies despite having a nice story and wonderful production failed to excite the audiences. Well, you never know what might work at box office. Talking about some of the misses of the year, bollywood had high expectations from Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Chandni Chowk To China’ but movie proved to be a damp squib. Akshay was on a roll after the success of Welcome, Singh is Kingg and others but that did not help the cause either.

It was also Akshay Kumar’s first release of the year and needless to say, Chandni Chowk To China was a disaster at the box office. The story had no innovation and humour was quite cheap. Critics thrashed the movie left, right and centre and over-expectation and under-delivery factor sealed its fate

Yash Raj banners poor run at box office continued this year. Dil Bole Haddipa was an eagerly awaited film starring a fresh pair of Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherji who was coming on screen after a long time. Movie is also said to be a copy of Hollywood film ‘She is the man’. Its long since we last saw a clear winner from Yash Raj’s stable.

Ashutosh Gowariker has earned a huge reputation for himself after making some of the best movies in this decade the likes of which include, Lagaan, Swadesh and Jodha-Akbar. Naturally, aam junta and critics alike had pinned high hopes from his latest release ‘What’s Your Raashee?’ but movie bombed at box office. People rejected it out rightly. Viewrs could not handle its length and tiring chemistry of 12 rashees. The absence of crackling chemistry between lead pair of Priyanka Chopra and Harmaan Baweja also didn’t help the cause.
