2019 year has been an interesting one with respect to the content being produced by the Hindi film industry where some movies have broken records following the standard commercial cinema model others have done the same while producing polarizing opinions and debates about the impact of cinema this year has also led to the creation of several debates about genuine storytelling versus propaganda the lack of originality within the industry and is it really just coincident that the same storyline films go under production at the same time in reference to 2019 there have been a lot of failures this year as well not on the basis of their content but their financial performance the movies that I'm going to mention range from compelling cinema that the public was not receptive to to downright disappointments that deservedly underperformed talking about some of the biggest failures of 2019 from the Hindi film industry here is tried and refuse productions with the biggest Bollywood box office failures of 2019 .
1. Rangila Raja
Rangila Raja a film that was about to release in 2018 but due to multiple issues with the censor board asking for an enormous amount of cuts the issue was resolved and Govinda's rangila raja finally was shielded release in 2019 theatre and govinda who are previously collaborated in the 90s with films like Shola aur Shabnam and islam presented the same kiss habit our formula of the 90s the creators consistently told the public and pleaded with the censor board that there was nothing regressive or problematic about the film it was hardly surprising that the movie presented exactly two things lack of logic and blatant sexism women playing inconsequential roles mostly playing second fiddle to the male lead and Govinda appearing in several roles a businessman and a yogi and God knows what else with dialogue to Govineen trying to make impactful comebacks but has featured in failure after failure and well this one failed miserably as well generating a total net gross revenue of 30 lakhs considered to be absolutely.
2.Sonchiriya
Sonchiriya Riya, Abhishek Chaubey is one of my favorite directors in the Hindi film industry so when after what happened Jabra talented was coming out with the tumble bandit film said during the emergency period of the mid-1970s with the talented cast including sushant singh, rajput Bumi but Nagar, Ashutosh Rana Manoj Bajpai and Ranbir sorry you knew that you would have some stellar performances with an extremely compelling script not only was the film extremely engaging but was a genuine take on several issues concerning the population present in the vast but dry landscape several shots of the film are still entrenched in my memory and I was impressed by the creator's decision to shed light on the died estate of the misunderstood section of society something that is often misrepresented in films sadly the movie performed horribly in the box office and suffered a massive loss the film which was made on a budget of 28 crore did a total net gross of a mere five point six crores released on the same day as Lukka chhuppi which did over a hundred corrodes a business I guess the masses wanted a laugh in theatres rather than watching something gritty.
3. Arjun Patiala
3.Sharia Arjun Patiala a Chandra film that has barely been explored a spoof comedies in India the only success story coming from India that I can remember was the inventive quick gun Morgan I feel like there is a lack of understanding of the genre and well while I can't question the intellect of the audience it has also to do with the lack of genuinely funny scripts that's the reason why success stories like the scary movie franchise Shaun of the Dead or Hot Shots cannot be translated in Hindi cinema there isn't a consistent effort made to produce parody films in this country. Arjun Patiala tried that but failed miserably as it was just like any other underwhelming attempt a parody on police films produced from India vowing to be different from the tropes that the genre follows hilariously became a conventional and generic film like those cops films despite the efforts of diljit dosanjh Rana throwing and kriti Sanon to be remotely convincing the existence of a dearth of gags and a generally below average script also led to its dismal performance with the budget of 24 crores the movie generated a mere total net gross of 6.2 crores..
4.Khandani Shafakhana
Sonakshi Sinha has not had a great financial track record since the last few years mainly because of recycling the same formula with the films but mostly because of below-average script choices with the lack of star power and absolutely no marketing efforts before the release of the film . Khandani shafakhana focuses on a nice currently suffering through financial crisis the entire family's pressure to pay back the debt falling on her shoulders and how she inherits a sex clinic from uncle the story unfolds shedding light on whether the legacy of uncles medicinal treatment should live on or the character can take the easy way out to relieve herself from the financial burden the firm despite being on the surface an interesting topic provided for nothing new on the big screen other than a generic speech by bachi in the final sequence some carry Kate Suresh acting at a muddy situation of not knowing what the movie wants to see led to footfalls not increasing in theaters not even slightly the movie made on a budget of 26 crores generated revenue of close to 4.4 Crores declaring it to be a massive failure.
5. Jabariya Jodi
Jabariya Jodi the film which is directed by pressure on Singh and has a huge ensemble cast focuses on the concept of dowry a political party led by Javed Jaffrey that hold men accountable for the series of demands they have when getting married obviously for a particular price and make sure the individuals get married against their world without their aggressive demands the movie mainly focuses on the love story that losses between the two main leads and how both the main characters try to come to terms with their own feelings in the small town of Bihar where mindsets are still oppressive and closed off even though the last outing with Siddharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra was memorable in the form of ill posse this outing provided for a blockbuster script that barely made the audience chuckle leave aside make them uncontrollably laugh the film which was made on a budget of close to 40 crores generated a total revenue of 16 crores and became another failure in the long list of dismal performances in the box office.
6. The Zoya Factor
For the two main leads the Joya factor the movie which is based on the best-selling novel written by a new Jojo Han with the same name has an interesting and carefree premise the movie focused on the life of Zoya a girl who is born in the same day as India won the World Cup for the first time in 1983 the individual despite being declared as a gift from the cricket gods and a lucky charm is experiencing nothing but misfortune in a personal and professional life when she gets hired for an ad campaign which involves the Eden cricket team where Li said Zoya might not be lucky in our own life but is the reason for the cricket team winning game after game by merely having a meal with them before the matches a love story conflict within the team the obsession with the sport in the country and the blind faith and jingoism for the sport in India are some of the fastest the film focused on people were tired however of seeing Sonam playing the same ditzy cute girl next door while the moviegoers couldn't stop raving about dulqueer salmaan the film despite its exponential marketing field to rake in the big numbers financially made at a budget of 33 crores the film raked 2.9 crores in revenue declaring it to be an debacle for Fox star studios.
7.Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas
This movie it isn't easy as legends think it is anymore to launch their children in the Hindi film industry expecting that audiences will eat up whatever is fed to them the launch of Karan the old the mean through his grandson and Sunny the old son with the generic love story of pal pal dil ke pass was already predicted by many as a forgettable venture little did we know that the film would be a National Geographic ad in its first half and the typical nineties dishum dishum until death do us part romance combination to make matters even worse differential case one of the worst performances of the year by Karan. as audiences couldn't really could not understand scenes whether the actor was smiling or crying made on a budget of forty five crores the movie generated revenue of only 6.7 crores leading to a humongous loss.
