There are many Bollywood films that have pathetic storylines but still go on to become box office hits.
Now, thatâs because some Bollywood celebrities hold a fan base that doesnât really care about the story of the film and will watch it just because their favorite actor is in the movie.
Also, there are films that have a good story line and direction but the audience won't watch it and those films will go on to become box office failures.
So, hereâs a list of Bollywood films that got bad reviews and still performed well at the box office.
Ek Tha Tiger
Salman Bhai has his own fan base and no matter what the film is about, his loyal fans will definitely watch the film.
Ek Tha Tiger was one such film that didnât really get a good review and still performed well at the box office.
This film went on to make Rs 320 crore worldwide and now you exactly know what we are talking about.
Happy New Year
We donât know why this film was even allowed to release. Yes, you read that right!
This film was a torture to watch and the storyline didnât make any sense. But the film starred Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, two major crowdpullers.
So, maybe because of the star cast the below-average film went on to make Rs 377 crore worldwide. And we fail to understand the reason behind its success!
Housefull 3
So, this film also made more than a whopping 100 crore at the box office. But if you remember the film, youâll know that it wasnât worth it.
However, the multi-starrer film starred Akshay Kumar, Lisa Haydon, Nargis Fakri, Jacqueline Fernandez and Abhishek Bachchan.
Even though the film didnât appeal to the audience that much, it made Rs 195 crore worldwide.
Judwaa 2
The Varun Dhawan film is another one that was marketed as a family entertainer but went on to get bad reviews.
The film performed well at the box office and made approximately Rs 207 crores.
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
The audience was excited to see another Sooraj Barjatya directorial with Salman Khan and the expectations were high.
However, the film with grandeur sets and a weird storyline failed to impress the audience.
But still somehow managed to make Rs 400 crore. Yeah, well...
Baaghi
The film made Rs 126 crore and no one knows why.
Also, the film still has an on-going franchise with below-average screenplay and storyline that fails to make any sense.
But still, some people watch it and enjoy it.
Son Of Sardaar
The Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha film was a total mindf*ck and still managed to become a Rs 100 crore film.
The film received negative reviews from the audience and the absurd storyline and drama only made it worse.
Ready
Here is another Salman Khan film that tortured the audiences but his fanbase still managed to make the film a box office blockbuster.
The film made Rs 187 crore and even though the film made people laugh a little, the storyline definitely made many of us rethink our choice to watch it.

Ajaz Khan has, unfortunately, become a synonym to controversies, as time and again he is in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. Well, we know for a fact that Ajaz can create controversy even if there's none, not only from his Bigg Boss record, but his other antics too that get people talking without a doubt.
From posting objectionable videos to possessing drugs, he has time and again faced legal action. Yesterday, he was arrested and he is trending at the top on all the news channels and digital platforms.

A post shared by Ajaz Khan (@imajazkhan) on Apr 14, 2020 at 9:23pm PDT
It's not the first time that he has been trending for all the wrong reasons. Let's take a look at the five times he proved that he is the 'Badshah' of controversies.
1. Arrested By Mumbai Police For Spreading Communal Hate Amid The Coronavirus Pandemic Ajaz Khan is back in the news because he has been arrested for spreading hate, using religion as a weapon, on his social media platforms. He has been arrested for promoting enmity between two groups and for waging 'war against the country'.
Khar police booked him under sections 153A (Promoting enmity between different groups), 121 (Waging, or attempting to wage war, or abetting waging of war, against the Government of India), 117 (Abetting commission of an offence by the public or by more than ten persons), 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant), 501 (Printing or engraving matter known to be defamatory), 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 505(2) (Statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill will between classes) of the Indian Penal Code.
But his fans on Twitter have started trending #ReleaseAjazKhan and have flooded the social media platform with their tweets.
Just because of this he was arrested !!
No hide and seek . Every one telling this and I am also telling that all hates were spreaded by Godi Media and some bhakts . #ReleaseAjazKhan pic.twitter.com/FkSUizG3XF

— Dr. Loneranger INC #WithRG (@Loneranger9new) April 19, 2020 Fans have been demanding his release and are saying that he is a man with a golden heart who has always helped the needy.
2. Booked For The Possession Of Banned Drugs In 2018, the infamous actor was sent to custody for allegedly possessing eight tablets of Ecstasy, a banned drug. Obviously, he had denied committing any crime and alleged that it was part of a conspiracy. "Based on specific information, the 38-year-old actor was arrested from the room of a hotel in Belapur. Khan, a resident of Andheri in Mumbai, was possessing tablets of 'Ecstasy', a narcotic drug," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Tushar Doshi, had earlier said.
3. Assaulted A Model By Sending Obscene Photographs Back in 2016, he was arrested for sending obscene photographs to a 25-year-old model on WhatsApp. He was arrested under Section 509 (word, gesture, act to outrage modesty of women) and Section 504 (intentional insult) of the Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act. The model had said in her FIR that Khan invited her to a hotel in Juhu and sent an obscene photograph to her.

4. His Infamous TikTok Video It seems like Khan always wants to be in the limelight for all sorts of wrong reasons. Last year, he was sent to custody for 14 days for spreading communal hate on TikTok. In one of the videos, he had mocked Mumbai Police for filing FIR against TikTok stars for posting threatening and outrageous video as revenge for Tabrej Ansari's death. In the video, the stars were seen saying, “You may have killed that innocent Tabrez Ansari, but tomorrow if his son takes revenge, do not say that all Muslims are terrorists.”
Its official Ajaz Khan is arrested by Cyber Cell Dept of @MumbaiPolice
I thank @MumbaiPolice and @CPMumbaiPolice for arresting this hate monger

— Ramesh Solanki (@Rajput_Ramesh) July 18, 2019 5. Thrashed A Male Model Last year, an FIR was registered against him for thrashing a male model and the organiser of a fashion show in Mumbai.
Well, I have been wondering how difficult it is to stay away from controversies and lead a simpler life. Ajaz Khan has some sort of strange connection with controversies, doesn't he?

A lot of memes come from cringe content, of course, and that's something India never has a shortage for. We have had some iconic moments of viral videos and it honestly doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Why should only desi people suffer?
We have the most over-the-top daily soaps and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that any reality show produced here is a goldmine for memes. Bigg Boss alone has blessed us with so many gems over the years, and I think we, as a nation, would forever be thankful for that.
Sometimes, way less often than I would like, these hilarious videos cross the border and get the international fame it so desperately deserves and I'm so happy about it. So, I thought I would make a list of all the instances where desi videos ended up going viral all over the world.
1. Pooja, what is this behaviour?
Hands down, the most iconic Bigg Boss video of all time. People know the entire conversation by heart and honestly, that's legendary status right there. And, the fact that our beloved Pooja changes her accent like four times will never not be hilarious.
Please do yourself a favour and watch this video again, you deserve it.

2. How can she slap?
Another great moment in Indian TV history and I really hope this one lives on forever, it's just that funny. The violence, the drama, the titular slap? It has something for everyone. An iconic video, out and out.

3. Gopi bahu washing the laptop
Oh no Gopi bahu, what are you doing? I can't believe this level of comedy originated from a freaking saas-bahu serial but oh well! Moreover, I love how it became relevant again recently after people were using this video as joke about cleaning their laptops because of coronavirus.

4. The curtain slap
I really find it so hard to believe that this is genuinely a scene that exists and it's not intended to be something hilarious. I mean, just look at her, what the hell is she even doing? Who goes and wraps a curtain around their neck like this? Indian TV peaked with this, tbh.

5. The other guys in her DMsHer: **** you, I got plenty other guys in my DMs
Her DMs: pic.twitter.com/e09cLFw2oq
â The real GSK (@GSKINOT) September 15, 2018Okay, I kind of feel bad for this one, but at the same time, I don't. It's just a fun video and its main intention was to make everyone laugh and it did. Also, you can't deny desi guys, just like all other guys, are creepy in the DMs.
BONUS

How can we have a list about desi things going viral without the iconic 'Bobs and Vagene' comment? That phrase is recognised all over the world and is probably the first thing people relate with India, and I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing.

Sachin Tendulkar will forever be known as the 'God of cricket' and is the epitome of a cricketer who could do no wrong. He is arguably the most respected former cricketer of this country and no matter which generation of the family you belong to, if you watch cricket, you have to be a Tendulkar fan.
© Reuters
Imagine waking up one morning and reading in the newspapers that Sachin Tendulkar has been accused of ball-tampering. During a Test match between India and South Africa in 2001, match referee Mike Denness accused Sachin Tendulkar of ball tampering when the Indian cricketer could be seen working on the seam was in the film captured by the cameraman. Upon further inspection, it was found that Tendulkar was simply cleaning the seam. The only mistake Tendulkar committed was to not inform the umpires before doing so.
Tendulkar was fined 75% of his match fee and was even suspended for one Test.
2. Selling The Ferrari Gifted To Him © Reuters
During a 2004 Test match between India and Pakistan in Multan, Sachin Tendulkar was in form and batting at 194* on Day 2. He was slowly working his way towards a double century and thought he had another over to achieve the feat. However Rahul Dravid, who was the captain at the point, declared Indiaâs innings, without letting his teammate reach the 200-run mark.
In his autobiography â Playing It My Wayâ, the cricketer wrote about his angst with Dravidâs decision.
âI assured Rahul that the incident would have no bearing on my involvement on the field, but off the field, I would prefer to be left alone for a while to come to terms with what had happened,â Tendulkar writes in the book.
While many understood Sachinâs frustration, others called this behaviour unsportsmanlike and felt that he was being selfish and not keeping his team first.
4. Vinod Kambliâs âSach Ka Saamnaâ © Reuters
Probably the biggest controversy that surrounded the Indian legend and got him a lot of hate, especially from Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist. When Harbhajan Singh allegedly racially abused Andrew Symonds during a 2008 Test, in the initial days, Tendulkar took a neutral path and said that he didnât hear anything. However, eventually he changed his statement. Now he said that he heard Singh and Symonds having a heated discussion and that Harbhajan said âteri ma kiâ, and not âmonkeyâ.
Ponting, in his autobiography, At The Close Of Play, wrote: âI couldnât understand why Sachin didnât tell this to (match referee) Mike Procter in the first place.â
Adam Gilchrist, in his book âTrue Colours: My Lifeâ wrote: âTendulkar, whoâd said at the first hearing that he hadnât been able to hear what Harbhajan had said â and he was a fair way away, up the other end, so Iâm certain he was telling the truth â now supported Harbhajanâs version that he hadnât called Symo a âmonkeyâ, but instead a Hindi term of abuse that might sound like âmonkeyâ to Australian ears."
âThe Indians got him off the hook when they, of all people, should have been treating the matter of racial vilification with the utmost seriousness,â Gilchrist had written.

The way Shah Rukh Khan delivers a dialogue in his movies, makes everyone go weak in their knees. For someone, who is a sucker for romance, would never get tired of watching his movies over and over again. But, is it just the screenplay that makes us believe in love? Actually it is a little beyond that. It's how SRK puts a dialogue in a heartfelt, emotional manner, that convinces and woos the audience.
There's nothing special about today that we are going to give you the best of SRK dialogues, but since we know that this lockdown has also made you quarantine away from your partner, these dialogues will put your faith back in love. Read below.
1. MohabbateinMohabbatein was one movie that made us all finish the whole tissue box, and the dialogues from this movie by SRK, are unmatched. This one touched my soul.
"Main aaj bhi usse utni hi mohabbat karta hoon. Aur is liye nahi ki koi aur nahi mili, par is liye ki usse mohabbat karne se fursat hi nahi milti" I can't even!
"Maine aaj tak sirf ek hi ladki se mohabbat ki hai ... aur zindagi bhar sirf us hi se karta rahoonga" An example one-woman man!
2. Veer ZaaraVeer Zaara has a stellar script as it talks about how religion and caste should not be the deciding factor when you fall in love with someone. While this tragic movie had some really emotional moments, SRK's dialogues made us cry even harder.
"Lekin kabhi bhi, kahin bhi ek dost ki zarurat padhe toh yaad rakhiega⦠ki sarhad paar ek aisa shaks hai jo aapke liye apni jaan bhi de dega!"
Need something more to cry?
"Sachi mohabbat zindagi mein sirf ek baar hoti hai ⦠aur jab hoti hai ⦠toh koi bhagwan yah khuda usse nakamyab nahi hone deta."
3. Dilwale Dulhania Le JayengeThe fact remains that when it comes to love, SRK always had to struggle to get the girl he really loves. We reckon, that this is what brings out his emotional side, that truly shows that love can seize everything!
"Tum apni zindagi ek aise ladke ke saath guzardogi jisko tum jaanti nahin ho, mili nahin ho, jo tumhari liye bilkul ajnabi hai."
Basically, how to make her fall in love with you and not the other guy! Bravo, SRK.
"Toh kya hua agar maine jhoot sirf tumhe paane ke liye kaha tha? Toh kya hua agar tumhare chehre ke sivah mujhe koi aur chehra dikhai nahi deta? Toh kya hua agar tumhare naam ke sivah mujhe koi aur naam yaad nahi rehta? Toh kya hua agar yeh awara tumhe deewano ki tarah pyar karta hai? Toh kya hua? Pyaar sab kuch toh nahi hota na."
How to convince your hone wale Sasurji, guys!
4. Kal Ho Naa Ho I still have to gather myself before I watch this movie. Even though Kal Ho Naa Ho has been etched in my heart, I still cannot get over the storyline of this movie.
"Pyaar toh bahot log karte hai... lekin mere jaisa pyaar koi nahi kar sakta kyun ki kisi ke pass tum joh nahi ho.." So true!
"Socho, socho aur sochne ke liye main tumhe apni puri zindagi deta hoon"
5. Kuch Kuch Hota HaiThis movie has a love-hate relationship with the audience, but the way SRK tries and convinces that love happens only once and still ends up doing it twice, makes us believe him!
"Tumhari sehat toh theek hai na, tum itni khoobsoorat kaise lag rahi ho?"
"Ek mard ka sar sirf teen aurton ke saamne jhukta hai, Maa ke samne, Durga Maa ke saamne, aur..." Very 'sanskaari'
6. Dil To Pagal HaiSRK has not only had tragic love stories on-screen but has also been stuck in a weird sort of love triangle. Dil To Pagal Hai is a great example that shows and makes us believe that love has no limit and bounds.
Kya tumne kabhi bhi ⦠ek din ke liye bhi ⦠ek pal ke liye bhi ⦠mujhse pyar kiya tha?
7. DevdasA man who seeks solace in alcohol, to forget the love of his life, is quite something. This movie is iconic and the breathtaking scenes and dialogues left everyone jaw-drop.
"Pyar ka karobaar toh bahut baar kiya hai, magar pyar sirf ek baar."
"Ek baat hoti thi tab tum bahut yaad aati thi ... (kab) ... jab jab main saans leta tha tab tab" Paro is so lucky!

Being a part of Rohit Shetty's Cop universe, Ajay Devgn is now counted as one of mainstream Bollywood's most successful actors. Recently, he's also ventured out into production, with a major film like Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (which also happens to be his 100th film with Bollywood) that hit the theatres this year and earned a total of Rs. 367 crore worldwide. All of these factors have exponentially contributed to his rising net worth.

But before we get right into it, it's important to understand what consists of net worth. Net worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities. Put another way, net worth is what is owned minus what is owed. This net worth calculator helps determine your net worth. It also estimates how net worth could grow or decline over the next 10 years.
View this post on InstagramMy Precious.A post shared by (@ajaydevgn)
According to Forbes Indiaâs Celebrity 100 list, Ajay Devgn secured the 12th spot with annual earnings of about Rs. 94 crore. These earnings consist of a major chunk that comes from acting in films, another portion comes from being a successful producer with home-banner Ajay Devgn FF Films. The banner has produced movies such as Parched, Singham Returns, and Shivaay. Apart from this, Ajay is also the face of brands like Vimal Pan Masala, Hajmola, and Whirlpool that significantly add to his earnings. Ajay Devgn has a whopping net worth of â¹260 crores. A Rolls-Royce Sweptail comes for an eye-brow raising price tag of $12 million (approximately Rs 82.39 crore), his net worth is more than thrice this amount if we were to compare.

There is no need to beat around the bush here, Bollywood has made some really terrible films over the years.
When we consider this, along with the fact that a lot of times, some Bollywood filmmakers have directly picked up scripts, given it a few twists and remade them into films that were perhaps purely meant to torture audiences, it all makes sense somehow.
© PVR Pictures
With Ayushmann Khurrana tweeting recently that he would love to play the Professorâs character from Money Heist, Twitter went kind of berserk and started imagining which Indian actor or actress should play which character.
This got us thinking, do we really want to besmirch such a masterfully made show? Heck no.
View this post on InstagramBella Ciao! Kartik Aaryanâs lockdown look reminds us of The Professor from Money Heist ð¥. I guess there is one Professor in every house today. I"m sure you too have a similar picture to share in this #quarantinelife #quarantinetime #KartikAaryan #viralbhayani #moneyheist @viralbhayaniA post shared by (@viralbhayani)
What is really frustrating at times is the sheer absurdity with which films often have been remade. They had a great and mind you, proven scripts, stellar star casts, and yet, they failed miserably, because of how lazily the film was made, or the makers simply thought that Indian audiences ko kya hi pata hoga kuchâ¦.

Here are 5 films and their terrible Bollywood remakes, which for once and for all, prove that Bollywood ought to be very careful when making remakes:
1. Players (The Italian Job) © Paramount Pictures
Whether you speak of the original 1969 one, or the one that was released in 2003, The Italian Job was a masterfully made film.
It certainly is one of the best heist films in English. What Bollywood gave was, was this.
© Viacom 18 Motion Pictures
Players was a disaster and rightly so. An over the top acting that would put even the most dramatic of K-serials to shame, some ridiculously senseless dialogues, and concepts that are completely foreign to India that were simply lifted from the originals ensured that the film tanked for good.
2. God Tussi Great Ho (Bruce Almighty) © Universal Pictures
I am sorry, but Salman Khan does not have the comic timing of Jim Carrey - thatâs just a fact.
And one of the main reasons why Bruce Almighty was so good and such a laughter riot, was Jim Carrey - he was the driving force behind the film, the thing that kept audiences glued to their seats.
© Eros International
God Tussi Great Ho was a disaster - the script was shoddily repurposed, the CGI was terrible especially for 2008âs standards. Just watch a few scenes from both the films and youâll know what weâre on about.
Even though Bruce Almighty was released 5 years prior to the Bollywood remake, its graphics and CGI have actually aged well.
3. Action Replayy (Back To The Future) © Universal Pictures
Much before Akshay Kumar came to be known for his comic timing, he had given a string of films which were torturous to sit through. One of the worst was Action Replayy.
© PVR Pictures
Back To The Future had a wonderfully, and intricately written plot revolving around time travel, and in a lot of aspects, was a genre-defining film. So iconic was the film, that a car used as a prop, the DeLorean is still relevant today.
Saying that Bollywoodâs attempt at a remake was disastrous would be grossly understating the fact.
4. Chocolate (The Usual Suspects) © Gramercy Pictures
The Usual Suspects was a massively impressive film and remains one of the best neo-noir films of all time. People often compare it to Tarantinoâs Reservoir Dogs and trust us, thatâs high praise for a film.
The filmography, the editing, the plot, everything was gritty and nuanced. The Usual Suspects won a number of Academy Awards, thatâs how good it was.
© Pen N Camera International
Chocolate, on the other hand, was a mess, and thatâs putting things mildly. The plot was convoluted, the cinematography, in a bid to be artsy was dreary, and the worst of all, it was a snoozefest compared to The Usual Suspects.
5. Prince (The Bourne Identity) © Universal Pictures
Finally, we have the disaster that was Prince. The Jason Bourne series may not be as well-made or nearly as gripping as the first one, The Bourne Identity. However, they still are watchable.
© Tips Music Films
The same cannot be said for Prince.
There is no other or softer way of saying it - the film was a cringe-fest. The film and the script were incoherent at times, and one was genuinely left asking themselves, âwhat the actual hell is going on,â through the entirety of the film.
If you have had to sit through any of these Bollywood remakes, we feel strongly for you. Also, you need to learn to make better decisions in your life.
