A film based on a dance competition, where a bunch of thieves attempt to fulfill their personal vendetta, pull off the biggest diamond heist that the world has ever seen.

After Koi Mil Gaya, people had high expectations from this franchise but after Krrish, all the other ones failed to intrigue the audience. I mean, Krrish 3 is all about a superhero trying to find an evil force who is out there, spreading fear and with extra superpowers. Finally, Krrish is able to defeat the evil. It's certain that a basic movie like this would have bombed at the box office. Let us tell you that this Indian superhero movie earned Rs 54 Crore overseas which is beyond our imagination.

Whosoever went to watch Bol Bachchan in theatres, might have regretted every single minute spent watching it.

Looks like this movie was a piece of joy for people abroad though, as it earned Rs 22 Crore.

Another SRK film that failed to appeal to the masses was Jab Harry Met Sejal. When the title of the movie was announced, everyone took a crude jibe at Anushka and SRK for being a part of a Hollywood remake. But all this was later clarified as the movie was an original. These controversies were laid off but the movie had a phenomenal run overseas and made a whopping Rs 67.66 Crore, even though it tanked in India.
6. Golmaal Again

Badrinath Ki Dulhania had one merit, that the film was quite entertaining but the connection between real life and what happens in movies added needless drama in the film which was quite unnecessary, While the movie lacked skilful execution for us, it came massively popular internationally and minted Rs 34 Crore, which shows that the drama in Indian cinema holds popularity in overseas markets.
