Bollywood has had numerous films over the years that have had high expectations pinned on them but have eventually not been able to do the business that they were expected to. While a few of them got to respectable final numbers courtesy various factors, there also were a few films that saw outright rejection from the audiences. Adipurush starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan is the newest entrant in the list of Bollywood films with the worst trending. It hasn't just broken into the list but has secured the top position with the ratio of collections post its first weekend to the lifetime collections expected to be in the range of 20-25 percent based on where it lands.

It is to be noted that the films that have been considered have had collections of around or over Rs 10 crores on the first day, indicating that there was a level of anticipation from prospective moviegoers around the film.

 

Films That Made It To The List Of Worst Trending Bollywood Films

Before Adipurush, the 2 films that topped the list of films with the worst trending were Love Aaj Kal (2020) and Shamshera, with the percentage of collections post the first weekend in the range of 25-26 percent. Thugs Of Hindostan was poorly received and the collections nosedived after the first few days. The Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan led film could manage to do only 29 percent of its lifetime collections after the first weekend. Jab Harry Met Sejal was Shah Rukh Khan's worst received film and the collections that the film managed after the first weekend were a meagre 30 percent. 

Akshay Kumar led Bachchhan Paandey was a miserable film and was severely hit by The Kashmir Files wave. It collected less than Rs 15 crores after the first weekend and became a part of the list of films with the worst theatrical trending with just 30 percent of its collections coming after the first weekend. Humshakals faced outright rejection. Apart from being the most trolled films of all time, it could only manage to do around 34.5 percent of its collections after the weekend. Other prominent films with a horrible theatrical trending include Fan, Singh Is Bliing, Zero, Kites, Besharam, Tamasha, Action Jackson, Tubelight, Dabangg 3 and Jai Ho.
