Highlights
Baby John
Let’s start this list with ‘Baby John‘. Released on December 25, ‘Baby John‘ proved to be a flop at the box office in the first week itself. This is a remake of the South film ‘Theri’, in which Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu were in the lead roles. ‘Theri’, which came in 2016, proved to be a superhit at the box office. The story of the film revolves around a father who fights enemies to save his daughter. According to reports, the budget of ‘Baby John‘ is Rs 160 crore. Till the time of writing the article, the collection of the film was Rs 23.9 crore.
Sarfira
Akshay Kumar‘s ‘Sarfira’ was a remake of the 2020 South superhit film ‘Soorarai Pottru’. Surya was seen in the lead role in ‘Soorarai Pottru’. The story of the film was based on an inspirational journey. Akshay Kumar played the lead role in the Hindi remake, while Radhika Madan was seen as the lead actress in it. Given the immense success of Soorarai Pottru, Sarfira was also expected to be a hit, but the film failed to impress the audience and flopped at the box office.
Shehzada
Kartik Aryan and Kriti Sanon‘s film Shehzada is a remake of South superstar Allu Arjun‘s superhit film ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’. However, unlike this, ‘Shehzada’ turned out to be a big disappointment. The makers delayed its release to avoid the massive success of ‘Pathan’, but despite this, the film failed to cast its magic on the audience. The film, made with a budget of Rs 75 crore, earned only Rs 47.20 crore.
Bachchan Pandey
Bachchan Pandey, the official remake of the South film ‘Jigarthanda’, also faced failure. Starring Akshay Kumar and Kriti Sanon, the film hit the theatres on March 18, 2022. Directed by Farhad Samji, the film was not a box office success. Made on a budget of Rs 165 crore, the film grossed Rs 73.17 crore worldwide.
