IBN Live came up with this list...

Were the audience right in rejecting them at the Box Office... Did they deserve a chance ?? or were the audience right??

Action Replayy
These are either big budget or big banner films of 2010. High hopes were pinned to these films but they didn't work at the box office.

Even big stars like Akshy Kumar and Aishwarya Rai couldn't bail this Vipul Shah directed disaster out. The movie was not able to cover its cost which is said to be around Rs 40 crores.

Kites
Mexican actress Barbara Mori was flown down to star in this film opposite Hrithik Roshan. The budget of the movie is said to have run upto Rs 60 crore, making this one of the most expensive Bollywood movies of 2010. However, neither the reputation of the banner or the awesome chemistry between Barbara and Hrithik attracted the audience.

Veer
Salman Khan's ambitious 'Veer' that released earlier this year was a big disappointment. The Rs 40 crore film failed at the box office

Guzaarish
Sanjay Leela Bhansali claims that if Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan had refused to act in this film, he would have not made the film. Another Rs 60 crore film that got a bit of critical acclaim but failed to impress the masses.

Anjaana Anjaani
Eros film starring Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor by Yash Raj was expected to do well, especially among the youngsters. The 43 crores film didn't work.

Aakrosh
Priyadarshan's directed film 'Aakrosh' had a huge star cast, which includes Ajay Devgn, Bipasha Basu, Paresh Rawal and Akshaye Khanna. Even though the movie was based on a burning topic of 'honour killing', the audience preferred to stay away from the movie.

Teen Patti
Produced by Ambika Hinduja, 'Teen Patti' was an ambitious movie starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ben Kingsley, R. Madhavan, Raima Sen and Shraddha Kapoor. The film was supposed to be wrapped up in a Rs 12 crores, but soared upto Rs 25 Crores. It flopped.

We Are Family
Kareena Kapoor, Kajol and Arjun Rampal starrer film, produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Production was a remake of the Hollywood movie 'Step Mother'. The budget of the film was Rs 18 to 20 crores.

Khatta Meetha
Another Priyadarshan film starring Akshay Kumar which is said to be worth Rs 30 crores. It failed miserably.

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
Ashutosh Gowarikar directed Rs. 40-45 crore movie based on the Chittagong revolution had everything going for it, but didn't manage to capture the imagination of the viewers.

I'm basing this on my own experience, but I used to watch at least 15 Bollywood movies a year and that was three years ago...now I watch maybe about 4-5? And that's because most Bollywood scripts are horrible; they always have been but for the past 2-3 years years the writing has really been in the dumps!

But also for the past couple of years, we have had the largest-grossing movies in history as well, regardless if the movies are all that or not! So I believe that the audiences really are just watching fewer films each year and they just watch the ones that others seem to like, thereby increasing the people who go to see Dabanng, 3 idiots, etc.

Now a lot of these movies were overly-ambitious and very foreign-based this year, and I think the audience just wanted simplicity. That doesn't mean that they don't have the "intelligence" to appreciate a complex film, they do, but they have become very wary of it in recent years (perhaps because those films are preaching to them?)

I also think what's happening globally in the news today as well as the world's economies are making people be more picky of the films they go to😊

And for Anjaana Anjaani, the film was a chick-flick! They didn't truly believe that it would be earth-shattering did they?😕😆

Action Replay: not a bad movie...just put together very poorly

Kites: overhyped from day 1//movie had a storyline that would've probably done well in the 90s but not now...

Veer: fighting...melodramaticness...rarely works

Guzaarish: you know a film is going to flop when you watch the promos and feel depressed and wanting to go in a blue/black room

Anjaana Anjaani: movie was based on suicide...seriously now?

Aakrosh: never knew this movie even existed..bad publicity on this one

Teen Paati: bad publicity, bad cast...what was the storyline again..?

We are family: the name sounds too damn cheesy for me to even watch

Khatta Meetha: senseless comey

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se: Subject was good, executed very poorly..and where were the promos??
