The Bollywood Report Card 2019-Pits of the 3rd Quarter

An insult to leading hero Dulquer Salmaans filmography and Indian cricket in total, The Zoya Factor starring Sonam Kapoor Ahuja was a bore. It is rumoured that the total earnings of the film are a mere 3 crores.

Despite execessive marketing, the lack of star presence in the films leading faces failed to pull in the crowds and as a result, Pal Pal... barely managed to survive its opening weekend.

Despite immense critical acclaim, the clash with Ayushmann Khurranas Dream Girl affected business for the Akshaye Khanna-Richa Chadha starrer.

If the film was only about Prabhas and his irresistable good looks, viewers would sit still for over three hours. Saaho is undoubtedly this years wekest film in terms of story and substance.

Despite a sincere performance by Sidharth Malhotra, the over-the-top acting of Parineeti Chopra and the inconsistency of the script saw the film fail at the box-office.

Well with due respect, the scenario for Hindi cinemas leading ladies havent changed enough for an audience to throng in at cinema houses to watch a film with Sonakshi Sinha in the lead.

This movie clearly had no business to even be thought about, forget being made.

Presenting the biggest upsets from Bollywood between July and September 2019.
