Karthik Calling Karthik- This was a decent thriller and had good music. Both Deepika and Farhan acted well and had good chemistry. Don't know why it failed. I thought it would be an average grosser at least.

Guzarish- Many people found it boring, although the script and acting were ok. Certainly didn't think it would be a disaster (it wasn't just a flop but a huge flop). I thought Hrithik and Aishwarya were a popular pair.

Kill Dill- Didn't watch it but I thought (judging from the trailers), that it would get an average/above average verdict.

Vivah- I watched half of this film and it was so boring that I didn't watch the rest. And I actually like Shahid! I could see why it appealed to certain people (squeaky clean film), but didn't think it would be a huge hit!

Jab We Met- I loved this film, but wasn't surprised that it started out slow, as the promos weren't all that appealing. My friend dragged me to the cinema to watch it (I'm glad she did though)!

This movie is HILARIOUS. It was more of a comedy than thriller😆

Guzarish- I love this movie. Restored my faith in HR as a versatile actor.

My answer will be Grand Masti. Never knew it would cross 100 cr😕😕😕 I like it though. I watched this one more than RL or my fav's K3😆

Swades - Have seen it many times. One of my favorite movies. Dunno why it flopped.

Ashiqui 2 😕 , how did that movie earn all that money. The story was meh, and the acting was bad, especially shradha.

Guzaarish- I actually watched the movie just two days ago, and am surprised it did that bad. Loved the movie, especially the subject. Two scenes I will never forget- where Rosy's husband is beating her and Ethan is so helpless, such a powerful scene. And the other one, where it's raining and water drips right on Ethan's face the entire night, and he can't do anything to help himself.

Lootera - was 💔 when it didn't pick up on Monday. I had maximum 12 hours sleep from Thursday to following Monday. 😆 I was literally cray for this film. Badlapur seems like nextt film I will be this crazy for.

Jaan-E-Man - enjoyable film. Sadly flopped. Much better than many recent Salman films.

Surprised that Gunday wasn't a Blockbuster coz first teaser was superb.

Shocked CE did that well. Didn't quite why and how?

This year, i was expecting Bang Bang and Kill Dil to do much better than they did. Also I was not expecting Happy Ending to be such a wash out but I guess everything turned out wrong in that movie. Dedh Ishqiya was another surprise flop. It had a small budget and since there is a niche audience which watches such films these days, I was expecting it to do Highway level business at least. It's sad bcos it is a very good film from what I know.
