Hello dosto! Welcome to the drama that is Bollywood, where the stars shine bright but sometimes fall faster than you can say "filmy twist"! Today, we’re diving into the rollercoaster ride that is Kangana Ranaut’s career. Fasten your seatbelts because Khabree Kiran is here to give you the scoop! 🎢✨
Kangana, the Once-upon-a-time Queen
Picture this: A few years ago, Kangana was the reigning queen bee of Bollywood! 🐝 From 2011 to 2015, she was on a spree, delivering hits with no ‘hero ka sahara.’ Remember Queen, Tanu Weds Manu, and its sequel? Yep, she was breaking records like they were made of glass! But alas, the crown’s lost its sparkle, and the box office has been playing hard to get with her.
The Big Plop: 10 Years of Box Office Drought
Post-Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Kangana’s career graph has been a bit like a cricket scorecard during a batting collapse. Out of 11 films—including the freshly released Emergency—success has been as elusive as a Bollywood actor without shades in public! 😎 Her last two ventures before Emergency, Tejas and Dhaakad, were nothing short of box office ki baarish mein bheeg gaya paper. Even Manikarnika couldn’t save her, earning just enough to not be called a total flop.
The Post-Pandemic Plunge
The pandemic era seems to have been particularly unkind. With big budgets and small returns, films like Thalaivi, Dhaakad, and Tejas managed to collectively gather just ₹17 crore against a mammoth budget of ₹255 crore! Matlab, box office ne inhe dhokha hi de diya! Dhaakad was the biggest dud, making only ₹3 crore worldwide. Ouch! 😬
Can Emergency be the Lifeboat?
Kangana’s Emergency was supposed to be her grand comeback, her magnum opus. With a ₹60 crore budget and creative control in her hands, expectations were higher than a kite in a Bollywood Holi song. Unfortunately, the film is crawling to ₹15 crore in its first week. Lagta hai, is baar bhi box office ne "no entry" ka board laga diya.
Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood Ka Rishta Wahi, Soch Nayi
So, what’s the takeaway from this Bollywood saga? Well, Bollywood is like a game of snakes and ladders. One minute you’re climbing high, the next you’re slipping down a giant snake. Kangana, here’s hoping you find that ladder soon! 😉
