13 Horrible Bollywood Movies That Wasted An Excellent Star Cast

In some ways, we’ve been cultured to anticipate certain things from Bollywood, since the innumerable films released year after year will their marks on the whole subcontinent’s subconsciousness.

We expected brilliance from established filmmakers, as well as outstanding performances from skilled actors and actresses. Sometimes Bollywood lives up to the high standards it has set for itself, and other times, things don’t always go as planned.

Many of the performers who have performed the title character have been successful, and there have been several outstanding performances throughout history. Unfortunately, not all of the talent drawn by Bollywood has been put to good use. Indeed, many talented performers have been wasted throughout the years, particularly in recent films.

Because no one is flawless, it’s reasonable that things don’t always go as planned. That isn’t to say that we don’t occasionally leave theatres unsatisfied and saddened by what might have been. Unfortunately, even the best performers make terrible professional decisions from time to time, and their skills are sometimes wasted on films that are unworthy of their excellence.

Here are a few of our greatest bad movies with fantastic star casts:

1. Thugs of Hindostan – 2018

This film, which featured Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Ronit Roy, and Lloyd Owen, was, to put it mildly, unimpressive.

2. Besharam – 2013

This film might have been so much more with Ranbir Kapoor, Pallavi Sharda, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Javed Jaffrey as its cast. Yet it absolutely fell short of their potential.

3. Ghanchakkar – 2013

Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan starred in this film, which flopped so badly that we’re sure you haven’t heard of it.

4. Rajjo – 2013

We expected more from the film, which featured Kangana Ranaut, Prakash Raj, Mahesh Manjrekar, and Jaya Prada, but we didn’t get it.

5. Jab Harry Met Sejal – 2017

We had high hopes for Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma’s chemistry, but this film was agony.

6. Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag – 2007

This film stars the greatest of the best, including Amitabh Bachchan, Mohanlal, Ajay Devgn, Prashant Raj Sachdev, Sushmita Sen, J. D. Chakravarthy, and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, but it couldn’t save it from crashing on the box office.

7. Salaam-E-Ishq – 2007

We anticipated more from Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Juhi Chawla, Akshaye Khanna, and Vidya Balan, despite a mix of competent and otherwise horrible performances.

8. Kuch Naa Kaho – 2003

This film, which starred Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, did not do justice to what these two performers are capable of.

9. Anjaana Anjaani – 2010

Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra teamed together to offer us a genuinely awful film that was incredibly inconsiderate to mental health issues.

10. Shaandaar – 2015

This film starred Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Pankaj Kapur and featured amazing music but a terrible narrative.

11. Kismat Konnection – 2008

Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan teamed together for this film, which we’re still trying to figure out after all these years.

12. Chandni Chowk to China – 2009

The presence of Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone was insufficient to rescue this sinking film.

13. Chennai Express – 2013

Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan delivered performances that we had not anticipated.
