Bollywood has had its share of both successful and unsuccessful films over the years. While defining the “biggest flop films” can be subjective and depend on various factors such as budget, expectations, and box office performance, here are a few expensive Bollywood films that have been considered major commercial failures in Indian cinema:
1. Mohenjo Daro (2016)
Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and starring Hrithik Roshan, this historical epic film set in ancient Indus Valley Civilization failed to meet the high expectations and incurred significant losses due to its large budget.
2. Bombay Velvet (2015)
This crime drama film featuring Ranbir Kapoor received negative reviews and suffered at the box office despite high production costs. This film was directed by Anurag Kashyap.

After Bombay Velvet, Ranbir Kapoor delivered another disaster film. Jagga Jasoos was directed by Anurag Basu and featured Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. This musical adventure film faced numerous delays and production issues. Despite the high anticipation, it failed to recover its substantial budget.
4. Tubelight (2017)
Tubelight is one of the biggest flops of Salman Khan’s career. Directed by Kabir Khan, this war drama film was highly anticipated but received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office.
5. Thugs of Hindostan (2018)
This action-adventure film features Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Despite having a star-studded cast, it was widely panned by critics and audiences alike, resulting in significant losses. People called it a cheap copy of Pirates Of The Caribbean.
