10 actors who had a bad 2010 : Bollywood News

In 2010, quite a few mighty stars and superstars had a bad year at the box office. Quite a few of them acted well but the film as a whole let them down, hence leading to a red in the report card. If Bachchans had to hunt for the box office success, someone like Hrithik who picks up films quite sparsely had to face double disappointment. Old gun like Sanjay Dutt couldnt fire either while the real life couple of Bipasha Basu and John Abraham didnt have much to smile either.

Abhishek Bachchan

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey - Disaster

Raavan - Flop

For Abhishek Bachchan, 2010 was mighty disappointing with two of his epic films - Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey as well as Raavan - turning out to be quite bad at the box office. He played two contrasting characters in these films. While he was overtly aggressive in Raavan, Khelein Hum... had him keeping the pitch of his performance low. However, while box office was quite cold to him, even from critical reception perspective, Abhishek didnt find many takers. What went well for him though was the fact that he accepted the failure of both the films with utmost humility rather than turning offensive.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Raavan - Flop

Action Replayy - Flop

Guzaarish - Flop

Robot (dubbed) - Above average

After a quiet 2009 where she didnt have a single release to her name, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had luxury of riches in 2010. To her misfortune though, she had to face the ignominy of a hat trick of failures with Raavan, Action Replayy as well as Guzaarish seeing a mighty fall at the box office. She did find some good critical acclaim coming her way in Raavan as well as Guzaarish but from commercial standpoint; she had a forgettable year in Bollywood. She can take solace from the fact that Endhiran (seen in Hindi as Robot) is still running to packed houses down South.
