The second release of 2015 had Bipasha Basu in a double role. This remake of the Thai film of the same name had Karan Singh Grover playing the lead part with Basu. The movie couldn’t manage to do any wonders at the box office, not even with the enormous experience that Basu has garnered in playing such characters over the years. The movie collected Rs 25 crores against Rs 18 crore that went into making the movie.

The movie had everything that could have made it a hit, and was even promoted well, with its songs topping all charts. Featuring Arjun Rampal, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ranbir Kapoor, the movie was expected to do well, but as compared to Rs 40 crore of its budget, it merely managed Rs 58 crores, and was heavily panned for its poor story and performances, becoming a butt of many jokes.

The concept was good, the performance was great, and the direction was gripping. However, nothing could save this movie from drowning deep at the box office, not even Sushant Singh Rajput’s growing popularity. Against the budget of Rs 35 crore, it only earned Rs 36 crore.

The movie was amongst many surprising flops at the box office, even though it was highly awaited by the fans of Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar and Abhinav Kashyap. The movie was a super flop at the box office, and despite some good reviews, it fared badly at the ticket counter.

This was the movie that left a mark in the minds of everyone who saw it, and yet couldn’t fare well at the BO. Performances by Ajay Devgan and Tabu were stirring and the direction was too gripping to be ignored, but even then, the Rs 62-crore movie earned only Rs 74 crore.

The list would never be complete without mentioning this movie. Starring Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt who are doing well in their careers, and directed by Vikas Bahl who has given a hit like Queen in the past, this movie was highly anticipated by everyone. However, on release, the movie couldn’t attract audience because of bad word of mouth, and as a result, couldn’t even cover its budget.
