I can name many

Phool aur Kannte

Jigar

Suhaag

Khiladi, MKTA, Sabse Bada Khiladi, KKK (record biggest opener 1996)

Jaan

Golmaal (Vipul shah had a flop career before Golmaal)

Hera Pheri series, Garam Masala, Hey baby, Bhool Bhooliya, Singh is King, those were the movies that turned into unexpected super success that put him to A category.

Mahesh Bhatt himself is an A List director and Producer, Emraan Hashmi movies did well because of the budget but interns of gross is below a big film number.

Another actors I mentioned were Mithun da who was one of the biggest stars of 80s, and Govinda, David Dhawan wasn't a list director or producer before Shola Shabnam

Once Upon A Time in Mumbai is B list ??

Gangster is B list ? Director of that film did Barfi.

Murder 2 is B list ? Director of that did Aashiqui 2

Maybe you tell us what the difference between A and B list is ?? So we know your criteria

Gangster and Murder 2 were released before Barfi and Aashiqui 2. So yes, they were B-list. Once Upon a time in Mumbaai was Ajay movie.

I don’t think B-list would be something unknown. There is a difference between unknown, flop and B-list. There are many star kids like Imran Khan, Tanisha Mukerjee, Esha Deol, Abhishek Bachchan and so many star kids that are flop but they are not known as B-grade actors actresses. B-grade is into different category. Actors that are B-grade usually does low budget movies that are filled with sex and kissing scenes. Same with the directors. Mahesh Bhatt might be famous director or producer but he was never taken seriously or respected like Dharma Banner, YRF, Rajshri Production, Nadiadwala or SLB. Nowadays every movies have kissing scenes but back then sometimes like 2000, it was different. Actors like Sunny, Bips, Poonam Pandey, Sanjay Dutt’s wife Manyata and Emraan Hashmi did those kinds of movies that fell into those categories. Even Emran gave hit movies but he was never considered A-list actors because of the quality movies that he did. That’s why he couldn’t last long like A-list actors.

Kangana Ranaut is another B-lister that comes to mind, Emraan’s co-star/heroine in almost half of his movies.....
