Game Changer or missed opportunity? Success has eluded Kiara Advani at the box office for the last 30 months

en Bollywood News Game Changer or missed opportunity? Success has eluded Kiara Advani at the box office for the last 30 months

Kiara Advani, who rose to immense popularity with her diverse roles in films like Kabir Singh (2019) and the sensational Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), has struggled to replicate that same box office magic for the past two and half years. While she has been highly praised for her performances in various films, her latest releases have not been able to capture the attention of audiences the way her earlier hits did.

Game Changer or missed opportunity? Success has eluded Kiara Advani at the box office for the last 30 months

Kiara Advani’s Game Changer, a highly anticipated big-budget film, had the potential to be the blockbuster the actress so desperately needed to reclaim her spot at the top of Bollywood's leading lady list. Despite garnering positive feedback in Hindi circuits, Game Changer has not been able to unlock its true potential.

The film's opening weekend numbers were respectable but fell short of the substantial growth and jump one would expect from a big-budget movie with a high level of anticipation. The weekend collections of ₹8.64 crore on Friday, Rs. 8.43 crore on Saturday, and Rs. 9.52 crore on Sunday, totaling Rs. 26.59 crore, paint a picture of mediocrity rather than a runaway success. Given the high costs involved in making a film like Game Changer, these figures are disappointing, especially when the industry and fans had high hopes for the film to perform far better.

This isn't the first time Kiara Advani has found herself facing a struggle at the box office. Earlier in the year 2023, Satyaprem Ki Katha (released June 29, 2023) barely managed to scrape together Rs. 77.55 crore in lifetime collections. While not a flop, these numbers can be considered average when compared to the actress’s earlier successes.

The same trend was observed with Jugjugg Jeeyo (released June 24, 2022), which concluded with lifetime collections of Rs. 85.03 crore. The film, though slightly better in performance, still didn’t hit the heights of success that Advani’s previous films had achieved. Both these movies underperformed, leaving fans and industry insiders questioning what had gone wrong for the actress.

Kiara Advani’s last hit was more than 30 months ago when she starred in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), a film that grossed Rs. 185.92 crore and became a massive blockbuster. This success seems like a distant memory, as Advani continues to struggle with her recent releases. The gap between her last major success and the current year has only highlighted her inability to strike gold again at the box office. 

Another film that has added to the anticipation surrounding Kiara Advani’s career is Don 3. The film was announced with much fanfare, with many speculating that Advani would play a pivotal role in the upcoming installment of the Don franchise. However, months after the announcement, there has been no movement on the project, and it seems to have stalled.

Despite the setbacks, there may still be hope for Kiara Advani in 2025. Two films could potentially turn her box office fortunes around: Toxic and War. Toxic, a high-stakes thriller with a gripping storyline, promises to offer a fresh and intense role for Advani, potentially capturing the audience’s imagination and drawing them back to the theaters. The film's release could be an opportunity for Advani to showcase her versatility in a genre she hasn't explored much before. On the other hand, War, a sequel to the hit War (2019) starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, holds a lot of potential. If Kiara Advani manages to land a key role in this high-budget action-packed franchise, it could not only boost her career but solidify her position as one of Bollywood's top leading ladies.

For now, the actress needs to reflect on her recent performances, take risks with varied roles, and choose films that not only showcase her acting abilities but also appeal to the audience’s ever-evolving tastes. The last 30 months may not have worked in her favor yet, but it’s not over until the final curtain falls.
