Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the most popular actresses of the Indian film industry, she is loved not just for her beautiful looks but also for her superb acting and dancing performances in movies. However, currently she is mostly in news because of the rumours of her divorce with Abhishek Bachchan. Though the couple has remained mum on this matter, social media platforms are filled with discussions on this topic.
Aishwarya has given many hit movies in her career but she has had her share of flops too and in this article, we will let you know about 11 biggest flop movies of the former Miss World :
1. Jazbaa (2015)
Aishwarya’s much-anticipated comeback film after a hiatus, Jazbaa was a courtroom drama. Despite her strong performance as a lawyer fighting for her daughter, the film’s lackluster screenplay and weak direction led to its underwhelming reception among audiences.
2. Action Replayy (2010)
This retro-themed sci-fi romantic comedy co-starring Akshay Kumar failed to resonate with the audiences. While Aishwarya looked stunning in her retro avatar, the film’s predictable narrative and lack of humour made it a disappointment and the movie failed big time on the box-office.
3. Raavan (2010)
Directed by Mani Ratnam and featuring a stellar cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Raavan was expected to be a blockbuster. However, its convoluted storytelling and inconsistent pacing led to critical and commercial failure.
4. Guzaarish (2010)
Although critically acclaimed for its heartfelt story and brilliant performances by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan, this Sanjay Leela Bhansali film was a box office flop. The intense subject matter of euthanasia failed to draw a wide audience.
5. Umrao Jaan (2006)
This remake of the classic Bollywood film was a visual spectacle but it lacked emotional depth and failed to live up to the original. Despite Aishwarya’s dedication to the role, the film was a commercial disaster.
6. Kyun! Ho Gaya Na… (2004)
A romantic comedy-drama co-starring Vivek Oberoi, this film struggled to deliver on its promise of a heartwarming love story. Its slow pacing and clichéd plot failed to impress viewers.
7. Shabd (2005)
This psychological drama which also starred Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan attempted to explore complex relationships but ended up confusing audiences with its convoluted narrative. Despite Aishwarya’s commendable acting, the film tanked at the box office.
8. Raincoat (2004)
Directed by Rituparno Ghosh, this melancholic drama which also starred Ajay Devgn received critical acclaim but was too niche for mainstream audiences. The story of lost love and unfulfilled dreams didn’t find commercial success.
9. Dil Ka Rishta (2003)
This melodrama, co-produced by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan herself, revolved around love and loss but failed to offer anything novel. The film’s outdated narrative style contributed to its poor reception.
10. Albela (2001)
A lighthearted romantic film co-starring Govinda, Albela lacked a strong script. Neither the humour nor the romance could keep the audience engaged, leading to its box office failure.
11. Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya (1997)
Aishwarya’s Bollywood debut alongside Bobby Deol, this romantic film fell flat despite its picturesque locations and fresh pairing. Critics pointed out the weak screenplay as a significant drawback.
While these films may not have fared well commercially, they often showcased Aishwarya’s willingness to experiment with different genres and roles. Her talent continues to shine through and her successful projects far outweigh these missteps.
