Shah Rukh Khan continues to be one of the biggest and influential Indian stars over the last three decades. He has consistently proved his mettle as an actor with numerous box office hits and captivating performances.
But like every other superstar, there are some box office bombs amid his superhits.
Shah Rukh Khan’s biggest flop is…
In 1995, Shah Rukh Khan had seven film releases, and among there were massive hits like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Karan Arjun, along with semi hits like Guddu and Ram Jaane. However, it was his final release of the year that proved to be the biggest flop of his career. The film was Mukul Anand’s Trimurti, that saw Jacky Shroff and Anil Kapoor too in pivotal roles.
Bankrolled by Subhash Ghai, the film was mounted on a budget of Rs 11 crore, the biggest for an Indian film at the time. Moreover, it even surpassed the record of Shanti and Ajooba for being the most expensive Indian film.
Trimurti’s box office collection
Released on December 22, 1995, the film had earned Rs 1 crore on day 1 at domestic box office, a record-breaking opening for any Indian film. However, bad reviews and negative word of mouth led to the film’s downfall and impacted overall collections. In the end, Trimurti’s final earnings were just Rs 9 crore, less than its budget. Despite the massive star power, the film couldn’t be saved and was disappeared from theatres in just two weeks.
Trimurti was the last release of filmmaker Mukul S Anand, who passed away due to heart attack while filming for Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt-starrer Dus in 1997. Anand is known for his previous hit directorial projects such as Agneepath, Hum, Khuda Gawah, Sultanat, and Insaaf.
