5 Famous Bollywood Actresses Who Have Given More Flops Than Hits

Bollywood is said to be a simple numbers game. The person who continuously does well at the box office as opposed to on-screen is allowed to stay, while everyone else is sent out. Bollywood is a very lucrative business! According to hearsay, the good effort isn’t necessarily the key to success in Bollywood.

Many movies have set box office records while having shoddy plots, and many others have flopped despite having a strong plot and strong performances. For a movie to compete in and succeed in the big box office game, several elements must come into play.

It’s nearly inconceivable to think that the math underlying their career graph could paint a different image given the star power of today and the absurd sums of money they are earning on projects.

Career ups and downs are inevitable, but being at the top of your field comes with a lot of obligations. It’s important to precisely satisfy the audience’s expectations. That is the exact reason why so many talented women while having a reputation for being excellent performers, have produced more flops than blockbusters.

So, let’s have a look at some of them:

1. Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut, famously known as the Queen of Bollywood, who is always known for delivering strong performances on the screen, has acted in roughly 32 movies, some of which have been huge successes like Tanu Weds Manu and Queen. She is the recipient of some of the most prestigious awards in India and has always been known for her divisive views on social and political topics.

Only five of the 32 have gone on to become hits; the other 27 have all been mediocre, semi-hits, or failures.

2. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a former Miss World and attractive actress, has appeared in 31 films and has provided mesmerising performances in box office hits like Devdas and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. But did you realise that most of his movies won’t be successful enough?

Out of a total of 31 movies, 27 movies got an ordinary response, semi-hits, or flops, leaving just 4 blockbusters and hits out of the total of 31.

3. Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor, the elegant actress and daughter of actor Anil Kapoor, has appeared in a total of 19 movies and won over audiences with her powerful performances in Raanjhanaa and Neerja.

Unfortunately, out of 19 films, only 6 of her films became hits at the box office. Apart from them, all have been box office disappointments despite her best efforts.

4. Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra is a well-known actress who has appeared in approximately 41 films throughout her career and has won several prestigious honours and accolades.

However, despite being one of Bollywood’s most well-known actresses, she has only produced 10 successful blockbusters out of 41 films, with the remaining 31 films falling into the average, semi-hit, and flop categories.

5. Kareena Kapoor Khan

Kareena Kapoor Khan comes from a family of well-known performers, so it’s not exaggerated to say that acting has come naturally to her. From romantic to hard-hitting, she has given some of the most memorable performances in history.

She has worked on 49 films in all during the course of her career. Although she has demonstrated that she is a natural actor, just 13 of her total 49 films have been hits or blockbusters, while the other 36 have been ordinary, semi-hits, or failures.
