This year has seen some combo of maker/stars which have given SUCCESS Earlier, but this year they have failed badly:

Salman-Kabir Khan

ETT - Blockbuster
BB - ATBB

Now - Tubelight - Below Average

SRK-Anushka

RNBDJ - Blockbuster
JTHJ - Hit

Now JHMS - Flop/Disaster

Tiger Shroff-Sabbir Khan

Heropanti - Hit
Baaghi - Hit

Now Munna Michael - Flop

Ranbir Kapoor - Anurag Basu

Barfi - SuperHIt

Now Jagga Jasoos - Flop

Shraddha Kapoor - Mohit Suri

Aashiqui 2 - Blockbuster
Ek Villain - Super Hit

Now Half Girlfriend - Below Average

Anil Kapoor - Anees Bazmee

No Entry - Super Hit
Welcome - Super Hit

Now - Mubarakan - Flop

The Only EXCEPTION to this cycle this year was

Team of Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania / Badrinath Ki Dulhania - Dharma, Varun, Alia, Shashank

& to some extent

Srk - Excel Films

Don - Hit
Don 2 - Hit

Now Raees - Semi-Hit (Not Clean Hit)

Whenever Rakesh Roshan (Filmkraft) has produced a Film for HRITHIK & Directed by Someone else other than Him, it has always tanked

Kites - Flop - Anurag Basu

Now Kaabil - Below Average - Sanjay Gupta

Varun has passed this test by giving Super Hit BKD... Judwaa 2 can't be considered coz Varun - David Dhawan has done 1 film, Main Tera Hero, that was Semi-Hit... no clean HIT.

Tubelight had a good story but sadly nothing else. A period film requires attention to details and Tunelight failed go do that in every aspect ranging from clothes, dialect, locales and so much more.

It seems 3rd time a charm doesn't work for BW.
Good Analysis 👏

Remove Aamir-Zaira its not 3 times like all other instances.

Very good list and observation.

Out of the up coming films I have a feeling all of them will do good and continue the success though I am not very sure if TZH will be a blockbuster.
