Bollywood Talk: Another Disappointing Friday

After the success of 'Animal,' Bollywood was eagerly anticipating another blockbuster this Friday. However, fate had different plans for the Bollywood releases on this particular Friday.

The rom-com film "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya," featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, hit theatres today but faced a lukewarm reception despite extensive promotions. Despite its conceptual appeal, the movie failed to engage the audience, with a slow first half and cheesy scenes. Shahid Kapoor, following the success of "Kabir Singh," experienced setbacks with movies like "Jersey" and "Bloody Daddy," and now "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya" adds to the list of disappointments. Similarly, Kriti Sanon, whose last film "Ganapath" was a major flop, finds herself disappointed once again with the reception of this latest release.

Adding to the industry's woes this year, big-budget films like Hrithik Roshan's "Fighter" and Katrina Kaif's "Merry Christmas" also failed to meet expectations. These star-studded ventures with high hopes fell flat, marking a challenging start to Bollywood's 2024. Let's see when would Bollywood score yet another blockbuster.
