Like Guzaarish, Joker, Bombay Velvet, Fitoor's One Of The Biggest Disasters Ever

Right at the time when the promo of Fitoor had arrived, it was quite apparent that the film was aimed for the niche audience. No wonder, it didn't come as a surprise when the makers [UTV] decided to give it a relatively small release at select theaters. However, what further worked against the film was lack of excitement quotient that was built around it right till the day of release. There was just no buzz or hype and Katrina Kaif - the biggest star of the enterprise - was being talked about for every reason other than Fitoor.

One wonders whether the makers could have at least done something to divert media and audience attention towards the film so that at least some awareness would have come around the core content. However, none of that happened as a result the film suffered big time, what with a mere 13 crore* coming the film's way.

Now these are simply terrible numbers and compares with some of the biggest flops/disasters (featuring at least one major star) that Bollywood has ever seen. Here the opening weekend collections of these films. Of course, the gold standard of disasters stays on asRGV Ki Aag and in the current scenario where big films do manage collections of some sorts at the least, hopefully this number won't be beaten ever.

RGV Ki Aag - 5.5 crore

Drona - 8 crore

Tezz - 11.25 crore

Fitoor - 13 crore*

Happy Ending - 13 crore

Guzaarish - 13.78 crore

Players - 15.05 crore

Joker - 15.75 crore

Bombay Velvet - 16.2 crore

Raavan - 16.97 crore

* Final numbers awaited

Note: All collections as per production and distributor sources

4 of the above movies features Jr. Bachchan While 2 of his movies are in highest grossing list . Seems like he is the no. 1 all-rounder of Bollywood .
Everyone should learn from him how to make right balance between success and failures

times change for every one

take ranbir for example

unless you show variety..broaden your horizon..you will fall stale and complacent

we all underrated PC back in 2009-10 and felt she will fade in another 2,3 years..she also made less consistent BO than kat back then

but today PC with her talent..variety..risks..is ruling not only india but the west too and katrina..the BO queen is now a declining star

how long can people keep seeing you do the same stuff over and over again

Katrina went from being top shelf to being the sticky stuff in the bottom of the barrel ( an area I usually associate with Kangana ) 😆

she got her fair share of credit

when MBKD and NY were hits..she was given all the credit even though NY was precisely hit coz of WOM since the opening was okayish but still she was credited

but she has to take credit here as well

same how srk was bashed for dilwale
heck even sonam was bashed for PRDP not making more than 200..many including me said it would have had the actress been bigger..

so i doubt there is any hypocrisy happening here
