Kareena Kapoor’s 25 Years in Bollywood: 6 Biggest Flopped Romance Films That Won Hearts Later

Kareena Kapoor Flop Films: Kareena Kapoor Khan is today a name synonymous with versatile acting arc, regal fashion choices, and unwavering confidence. Her journey in Bollywood has expanded over 25 long years in which things have not always been roses and sunshine. KKK has had her fair share of duds at the box office. While her Geet from ‘Jab We Met’ gave us the cult romance film, this genre’s film also had major setbacks for her. Let’s take a look at her biggest flopped romance films that initially failed at the box office but have today found their niche audience. 

Ki & Ka 

Helmed by R. Balki, the film brought a fresh narrative of reversed gender roles in society that is made to believe works in an insoluble binary of male and female courtesy to patriarchy. The story has a few loose ends but over time aged to be appreciated for its novel attempt at canvassing the impact of patriarchy in mainstream Hindi cinema. 

Gori Tere Pyar Mein 

A fun, and vibrant flick that's perfect on days you want to watch a candid romance with a happy ending. Gori Tere Pyar Mein released in 2013 made a box office of  ₹32.80 crore over a budget of 30 crores. Though the story is no different than a few similar ones who must have already watched the movie got it clicks later on for its great songs, and quick pace.   

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

One from the era of Imraan Khan’s rom-com, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu celebrated individuality over forced mutual relationships. The film was decent at the box office and later found its niche audience that admired the plot centering on platonic friendship over romantic obligations. The cinema and color palate of the movie were catchy making it a pleasant watch for many, 

Tashan 

With a promising cast of Kareena, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Kareena Kapoor, Tashan was loud, in the face, and over-the-top. The film’s failure is now credited to it being way ahead of its time. Nonetheless, the film turned out to be a favorite among many to make an impact on the audience so strongly that it would stay.   

Kyon Ki… 

Based on the Malayalam film ‘Thalavattam’, the Hindi remake had the same director on board Priyadarshan. The film was bashed for multiple reasons on its release from its negative reviews, to its insensitive depiction of mental illness. Kyon Ki… with Salman Khan and Bebo in the lead role was later on liked by the fans of tragic romances. 

Main Prem Ki Deewani 

The film had the most attractive Jodi of the time. Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor still did not make a blast at the box office due to its over-the-top acting, and dramatic portrayal of an unrealistic story. Why it flopped is a reason too many, and today the same reasons have made it a favorite among some.  

Kareen Kapoor Khan is a force to be reckoned with today because of the grace with which she overcame her setbacks, and these films are just a small example of it.
