Every year Bollywood sees a flurry of film releases. While some low-budget movies rake in impressive profits others with massive budgets flop despite extensive promotion. Often certain films come and go without leaving a trace. Today we’re focusing on one such movie that generated little buzz before or after its release. Despite featuring two prominent stars it turned out to be a colossal disaster at the box office. In fact even a year later no OTT platform is willing to showcase it.

This film features two well-known stars in leading roles with a budget of Rs 45 crores and a year allocated for production. However it struggled to find its footing and was released with minimal effort. Incredibly it couldn’t even sell 300 tickets. The lack of promotional support contributed to its dismal performance. As a result this film has turned out to be such a monumental flop that it has earned the title of the biggest disaster in Bollywood history. Recently no other film has performed as poorly as this one! Were talking about Ajay Bahls crime thriller The Lady Killer featuring Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles. With a budget of ₹45 crore the film faced multiple production delays and was finally released in November 2023—but not without issues. The release felt more like an afterthought as it premiered in only a handful of theaters nationwide. In fact many cinemas seemed hesitant to acquire its rights. The film  sold only 290 tickets on day 1 The result? The Lady Killer sold a mere 293 tickets on its opening day earning just Rs 38000—one of the lowest openings in film history.

After its dismal theatrical run the makers of The Lady Killer had no choice but to consider an OTT release. However nearly a year later the film still hasnt found a home on any streaming platform. Originally it was set to debut on OTT but delays in production caused all platforms to back out. As a result the film ended up being released in theaters instead. Neither Arjun Kapoor nor Bhumi Pednekar have commented on the film since its release. In a last-ditch effort the creators decided to upload it for free on YouTube. Surprisingly it garnered 500000 views in just one day. Now after about a month it has reached an impressive 2.6 million views demonstrating that even amidst its struggles it has found an audience online.
