Ajay Devgn’s launchpad for nephew Aaman Devgan fell flat at the box office. Despite being a grand action period film, it managed just ₹10 crore worldwide. Audiences criticized the weak storyline and lack of star power

Akshay Kumar's patriotic war film had intense initial hype but fizzled out quickly. Controversies and mixed reviews hurt its momentum, leading to ₹144 crore earnings. Despite big visuals, the film lacked emotional depth and failed to connect

Nithiin’s stylish heist comedy failed to grab the Telugu audience’s interest. With just ₹9 crore worldwide, it couldn’t justify its high marketing spend. Viewers found the plot predictable and the humor underwhelming

This spy comedy starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda was meant to be a crowd-pleaser. But with weak storytelling and lackluster execution, it earned only ₹9 crore globally. Despite some stylish visuals, the film lacked substance

Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Telugu drama opened to low numbers. Despite her star power, it collected just ₹3.55 crore in the opening week. Critics called it emotionally flat and visually dull

Michael B. Jordan’s vampire thriller had solid reviews but lacked local pull. It earned ₹11 crore in India, far below other Hollywood films. Low buzz and niche appeal limited its reach in the Indian market

Despite Tom Cruise’s brand power, this final MI chapter disappointed. It grossed ₹40 crore in India, far below expectations. Mixed reviews and franchise fatigue led to a steep drop after the opening weekend
