Top 10 Bollywood Box Office Bombs

Despite being highly anticipated in the weeks leading up to their release and often starring notable leads, some films failed spectacularly to deliver when it came to box office returns. With producers having invested heavily in making these projects into ‘Big Budget Films’, these movies have gone down in the annals of Hindi cinema as the biggest box office bombs of all time. Here are the top 10 biggest flops:

2. Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1993)

This movie has special prominence on this list due to being the most expensive Bollywood film of the day with a whopping nine crore budget.
