Check out the top box office disasters for 2016
Banjo

Banjo collected Rs 25.29 crore on its opening weekend. It released in September and faced competition from Baar Baar Dekho, Pink, Freaky Ali, Raaz Reboot. Banjo was directed by Ravi Jadhav.

Mirzya

During an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com, director Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra had made it clear that he was not aiming for box office when he launched Mirzya. The director who once treated us with hits like Rang De Basanti, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Delhi 6, had his eyes more on filmmaking rather than the money the film collected.

Great Grand Masti

Great Grand Masti is one of the popular comedy franchise of India after Golmaal, Housefull, Kya Kool Hai Hum to name a few. The makers of adult-comedy film faced huge loss when their film was leaked online three weeks before its release.

Fan

The trailers of Fan and the songs Jabra Fan gave SRKians a ray of hope that the superstar had finally decided to use his stardom and deliver a film with integrity. The film, however, failed to click.

Mohenjo Daro

One had high expectations from Ashutosh Gowarikar who previously treated us with films like Jodhaa Akbar, Swadesh, Lagaan to name a few. Although the name Mohenjo Daro raised a lot of expectations, the film didn’t work. Also, the film faced a huge competition from Akshay Kumar’s Rustom.

Baar Baar Dekho

It is not very difficult to predict the consequences when Bollywood decides the amalgamation of two actors who manage to hold the same kind of expression throughout their whole career span. Director Nitya Mehra marked her commercial imprint on Bollywood with Baar Baar Dekho.

Shivaay

When self-claimed number 1 critic Kamaal R Khan decided to give Ajay Devgn’s Shivaay a bad review, that was enough to enrage the actor, who had his film all set to release on Diwali 2016. The film, however, faced humungous competition against Ae Dil Hai Muskhil.

Freaky Ali

Those familiar with the ways of Bollywood presumed that with the backing of superstar Salman Khan, Freaky Ali would work. However, despite Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s excellent performance the film couldn’t manage to fly high in the box office.

A Flying Jatt

A Flying Jatt was supposed to be the next superhero franchise in India after Krrish and Ra One. Although the film couldn’t manage to fly height, the ‘Beat Pe Booty’ challenge started by the marketing team of the film, managed to be a huge hit on social media.

Azhar

After Jannat, one had a lot of expectations from Azhar, mainly because of the image The Dirty Picture actor has managed to create for himself after his popularity as the serial kisser. However, the film failed to fly high.
