Flops of 2010
The year 2010 may be marked down for outstanding movies like Rajneeti, My Name is Khan and Housefull; but along with the good came the bad. The year has also brought along more than its share of disastrous flops. Here is a look at the flops of 2010...
-
It was the most-awaited film of year 2010 and as expected Mani Ratnam's much-talked about Ash-Abhi starrer bilingual Raavan opened to a great response. The film, which was seen as the modern day adaptation of The Ramayan bombed at the box office because of its weak script.
-
Touted as the most expensive film in Indian cinema, Hrithik Roshan-Barbara Mori starrer Kites was a major flop. Thought the movie got a great opening, but by the second week its collections began to fall. The oh-so-hot couple of Hrithik Roshan and gorgeous Barbara Mori, with their hot scenes, couldn't do much to salvage the movie.

Released in January 2010, Dulha Mil Gaya was one of the first Bollywood releases of the year. The film starring Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan, had a poor opening despite having been marketed as an SRK film. The film was deemed as a flop collecting only Rs 3 crore at the box-office.
-
Another failed attempt in the genre of horror flicks, Rokkk had a below-average star cast of Tanushree Dutta, Udita Goswami, Shaad Randhawa and Nishigandha Wad. The story line was that of a woman possessed by a spirit, who lived in the house - needless to say, the movie flopped miserably.
-
Apartment was meant to be an erotic thriller starring Tanushree Dutta, Rohit Roy and Neetu Chandra. Inspired from the Hollywood movie Single White Female the film was declared a flop at the box office. The movie though was in news for Neetu Chandra's bathing scene which too couldn't save the film.

Mahesh Manjrekar's City Of Gold – Mumbai 1982: Ek Ankahi Kahani was a dark tale of mill workers, who were rendered jobless after the closure of mills in Bombay in 1982. Though the performance of the entire cast was realistic, the excessive violence didn't impress the audience.
