Flop Movies of Shahrukh Khan That You Should Know About
If you go by Shahrukh Khan's old movies as well as some new ones, there are a few flop movies. Some of these are:
King Uncle
Shahrukh Khan has done quite a few comedy roles but this experiment certainly did not do very well. King Uncle was released in 1993 and it was a major flop. Although the movie did have some good songs, the plot did not do that well. The story of the movie revolves around an orphan who ends up at the house of a cruel millionaire. The story did not go well with the enigma of Shahrukh Khan as a celebrity and it did not do well at the box office at all.
Jab Harry Met Sejal
Jab Harry Met Sejal is a relatively recent release and here Shahrukh Khan was paired opposite Anushka Sharma. Although the cinematography and the location of the movie were quite well-built, it did not do well at all at the box office. The movie was released in the year 2017. One of the worst things about the movie is that the storyline was absurd and this is what did not sit well with the audience at all. Jab Harry Met Sejal is now on the OTT platform as well but it is certainly not a good watch.
Zero
Even the biggest of Shahrukh Khan fans have retorted that Zero is one of the worst movies by him and the story was extremely absurd and boring. Although the movie had a multi-star cast like Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, it was a big flop indeed. In this movie, extensive VFX was used and Shahrukh Khan played the role of a dwarf. The movie did not do well at all and this Shahrukh Khan ki movie was a complete failure indeed. Zero did have a few good music compositions and it did have some special appearances as well like Deepika Padukone and the legendary Sridevi. Even with such high expenses the movie failed terribly.
Paheli
The next flop movie by Shahrukh Khan is none other than Paheli and there are a lot of people who haven't even heard about the movie yet. Paheli was released in the year 2009. Shahrukh Khan tried to experiment in this movie with his looks and played the role of a villager from Rajasthan. But this did not do well at all and the fans had a hard time resonating with the character. The movie did not have a commercial result at all and at the same time, the meaning of the movie was also quite complex.
Billu
This is quite a debatable name when it comes to the list of flop movies of Shahrukh Khan but the movie certainly did not do very well at the box office. The movie did have some amazing actresses making a special appearance including Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee and even the beautiful Deepika Padukone. The lead role also had the talented Irffan Khan however the movie certainly did not do very well. It was the remake of a Malayalam movie and hence did not live up to the expectations. The movie had a lot of controversy as well because it was initially thought to be derogatory of the barbers. This is why the title of the movie "Billu Barber" was shortened to only "Billu".
Swades
One of the flops among Shahrukh Khan's old movies is none other than Swades. The movie was released in the year 2004 and was centred around two characters - Aravinda Pillalamarri and Ravi Kuchimanchi both of whom were NRIs. The idea of this couple was to come back to India and kickstart their own venture of producing pedal power generators. Although today critics are of the opinion that this movie was one of the best performances of Shahrukh Khan, the collection did not do well at all. Swades is a movie that focuses on the patriotic feeling and Shahrukh Khan ventured into a completely different genre. The movie today is quite a favourite but the economic gains did not do well at all.
Asoka
Yet another flop movie of Shahrukh Khan, even after his stellar performance is none other than Asoka. The movie was released in the year 2002 and was loosely based on the life of King Asoka. One of the major reasons why the movie did not do well because of the dramatisation. Although Shahrukh Khan tried to act his best and pick up the ultimate historical essence, it was a flop. The movie even had the presence of gorgeous Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani
Finally, the last name that we have to mention when it comes to SRK flop movies is none other than Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. The movie was released in the year 2000 and it was the last production that SRK had with the very beautiful Juhi Chawla. The movie was a satire on the media but it could not even earn the bare minimum.
Shahrukh Khan is an iconic actor, however, he has been at the crux of some biggest flops of Bollywood all time as well. However, with the release of movies like Pathaan and Jawan, it can be said without a doubt that Shahrukh has now indeed made the most stellar comebacks.
