This film has received a poor IMDb rating of just 2.7. The makers had already announced two sequels before the film’s release, but after its disastrous performance. Can you name this film?
Just like this year, last year also saw numerous film releases at the box office, with most of them becoming big hits. However, there were a few that turned out to be massive flops. What’s even more surprising is that these films had huge budgets, but they couldn’t even manage to earn a fraction of their production costs. One such film, starring three major superstars, left audiences regretting their decision to watch it, making it one of the biggest disasters of 2023. Can you name this film?
2023’s Biggest Disaster Film
The film in question is a dystopian sports action thriller, directed by Vikas Bahl. Despite being a mega-budget project, Ganapath failed to even recover 9% of its budget at the box office. Audiences were bored by the film, with neither its story nor its performances impressing them. We’re talking about Ganapath, starring Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon, which was released in October 2023.
Big Stars Couldn’t Save It
The film featured a megastar, a big hero, and a top actress—Amitabh Bachchan, Tiger Shroff, and Kriti Sanon in pivotal roles. It was promoted as India’s biggest action thriller, but at the box office, it proved to be a massive failure. Amitabh Bachchan took on action scenes in a new avatar, while Kriti Sanon was also seen in an action-packed role, but it didn’t resonate with the audience. Despite the intense fight scenes, the film failed to make a mark.
200 Crore Budget and Just Small Return
Despite the star-studded cast, Ganapath did not manage to impress audiences. According to Sacnilk’s report, the film had an estimated budget of Rs 200 crore. Released on October 20, 2023, it earned just Rs 2.5 crore on its opening day. From there, the earnings saw a steady decline. The film grossed only Rs 15.5 crore in India and Rs 2.5 crore internationally, bringing its total earnings to a disappointing Rs 18 crore. This made it one of the biggest flops at the box office.
Lowest IMDb Rating
Even the star power of Amitabh Bachchan, Tiger Shroff, and Kriti Sanon couldn’t save Ganapath from failure. The film has received a poor IMDb rating of just 2.7. The makers had already announced two sequels before the film’s release, but after its disastrous performance, the chances of a sequel seem highly unlikely. Even if one is made, it’s uncertain whether it will find success at the box office. If you still want to watch this film, it’s available on YouTube.
