Legendary Sridevi Flop Cost Boney Kapoor Rs 12 Crore; Pahlaj Nihalani Scores a Blockbuster Without Publicity
The world of Bollywood is glamorous, yet unpredictable. Even legendary stars like Sridevi couldn’t guarantee box office success. One of her films, despite high expectations, turned out to be a major flop, leaving producer Boney Kapoor in a financial crisis of Rs 12 crore.
On the other hand, Pahlaj Nihalani, often considered a controversial figure in the industry, managed to deliver a blockbuster without any publicity or heavy marketing. This contrast highlights the unpredictable nature of Bollywood’s box office, where star power doesn’t always translate to success, and smart content can triumph against all odds.
Boney Kapoor’s loss underscores the risk producers take when investing in star-led projects. In contrast, Nihalani’s success proves that strategic planning, content resonance, and timing can sometimes outweigh massive budgets or celebrity presence.
