Before Chup exposed reviews and ratings, THESE 'bad' Bollywood movies silenced critics by their blockbuster box office collection

 

Blockbuster Bollywood movies that experienced the wrath of smug critics, which Chup exposes

Along with being a dark and twisted thriller, chock-fill with gruesome albeit highly intelligent kills, new Bollywood release Chup is also a heartfelt love letter to both Indian Cinema and the 'film critics' community, serving as a timely reminder of how critics (yes, we’re calling our community out) can, many a time, be too smug and extremely cut off from what the audience actually wants. So, for those who have or even haven’t seen the R Blaki film, starring Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan, Shreya Dhanwanthary and Pooja Bhatt, check out blockbuster Bollywood movies in the past that were actually slaughtered by most critics, but embraced with open arms by the audience.
