Top Filmmakers Flopping

By Anant Mathur (January 05, 2011)

Now that the New Year has begun we can analyze the performance of films released last year. This post contains a list of the top bollywood filmmakers whose big budget films flopped in 2010. The list includes the name of the filmmaker (producer and/or director), the distributor, Cost to distributor (including print and promotion), and the distributor’s share of the box office collections.

I have been saying for the last few years that the way filmmakers are behaving in bollywood nowadays (making useless films and expecting them to run on the star or filmmakers’ name) will only lead to the audience not coming to see their films. Sadly, it seems this is now a fact.

Karan Johar, Rajkumar Hirani,
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ashutosh
Gowarikar, Farhan Akhtar,
Rakesh Roshan & Rakeysh Mehra

History will remember 2010 as one of the worst years for Bollywood. Of the 156 Hindi films released in 2010, only 7.2 percent were profitable or broke even for their producers (the norm is 18-20 %). In the first half of 2010 the industry had already suffered losses of 300 crores – 81 films were released from January 1 to June 30 and only Rajneeti was able to make a substantial profit for its investors. The second half wasn’t much better with Dabangg and Golmaal 3 comprising of the only big budgeted hits. Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, Atithi Tum Kab Jaaoge and I Hate Luv Storys were average fares. Peepli [Live], Ishqiya and Love Sex Aur Dhoka were the only small budget film to register any kind of impact at the box office in 2010.

Below is a list of the 38 big budget films that were released and flopped in 2010.
