This 4 hour 15 minute thriller had 33 actors, turned out to be a disaster, ruined careers of many stars, lead actors are…, film is…
Multi-starrer films have been made in Bollywood for the last several years. Sometimes the films earn a lot at the box office, and sometimes the makers have to suffer losses worth crores. Today we are going to tell you about a film in which not 3-4 but 33 stars worked, but after its release, the film flopped badly at the box office. Can you guess this film's name?
'LOC Kargil' was directed by JP Dutta, a famous director for making war films. This movie was 4 hours and 15 minutes long. Many stars worked in 'LOC Kargil', which was released in 2003. The story of the film was based on the Indian Army winning the Kargil War, but despite all efforts, it could not perform well at the box office.
Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, Sunil Shetty, Abhishek Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Akshay Khanna, Manoj Bajpayee, Ashutosh Rana, Sudesh Berry, Raj Babbar, Mohnish Bahl, and Avtar Gill played important roles in this film. Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, and Esha Deol were also seen in the film. But despite having a huge star cast, the film could not save itself from sinking at the box office.
'LOC Kargil' received negative reviews after its release. Many critics said that instead of focusing on all the characters in the film, the focus should have been on only a few. The audience also did not like the story of 'LOC Kargil'. As a result, the movie could not even recover its budget at the box office. Made for Rs 33 crore, JP Dutta's 'LOC Kargil' could collect only Rs 20 crore in India. Whereas, its worldwide collection was 31 crores.
After the flop of 'LOC Kargil', the careers of stars like Puru Rajkumar, Shahzad Khan, Amar Upadhyay, Bikram Saluja, Vineet Sharma, Karan Nath, Armaan Kohli, Deepak Jethi, Priya Gill, Akanksha Malhotra and Akbar Naqvi came to a halt. Many stars are still working, but they have not got the success they expected.
