Rishi Kapoor went into deep depression after this movie flopped at box-office, was admitted to hospital, movie was..., it earned just Rs...
Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who delivered numerous superhits at the box office and garnered several awards, was also a talented producer and director who contributed immensely to the film industry. He is still remembered for his powerful performances and iconic Hindi films like Bobby, Agneepath, Mera Naam Joker, and Amar Akbar Anthony , to name a few. Rishi's legacy in Bollywood lives on, even after his passing. On that note, today we will tell you about one of his cult films that turned out to be a mega flop. Rishi Kapoor was unable to cope with the film's failure and was deeply shocked. As a result, his condition worsened, and he had to be admitted to the hospital.
We are talking about Karz, Subhash Ghai's reincarnation drama that has gained iconic status over the years. However, at the time of its release, it was a colossal failure. Its failure took a toll on Kapoor, who was hospitalised due to depression.
Rishi Kapoor in Karz
In an old interview with Mumbai Mirror, Subhash Ghai said, 'We opened with 20% collections. On Sunday, I learnt that Rishi had been admitted to the hospital for depression. He had worked hard on every scene and was so proud of the film, requesting several preview shows for his friends before its release. The no-show came as a shock and I had to get Raj saab (his father Raj Kapoor) to reassure him that we'd made a good film irrespective of its commercial failure'.
Over the years, Karz was loved by many and became one of Rishi Kapoor's most memorable films. Made in a production budget of Rs 1.5 crore, the film earned around Rs 3.9 crore at the box office.
Though he and Subhash Ghai did not work together again until Kaanchi in 2014, they remained close over the years.
Despite having a great director in Subhash Ghai, legendary music composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal, lyrics by Anand Bakshi, a producer like Akhtar Farooqui, and a stellar cast including Rishi Kapoor, Simi Garewal, Tina Munim, and Pran, Karz still failed at the box office.
Some of the popular songs from the movie are Dard-E-Dil, Om Shanti Om, Ek Haseena Thi, Tu Kitne Baras Kim to name a few.

Canvas Called Home: Where Art, Craft, and Conscious Living Converge
The idea was to create a cohesive atmosphere that helps people make better decisions and buy better, more conscious products, said Pallavi. All the brands on display followed ethical practices and used natural materials. The products were fairly priced and the brands worked with artisans and clusters that specialise in traditional crafts. 'That's how they align with our larger sustainability and conscious living message,' Pallavi pointed out. 'This collaboration with Our Better Planet is rooted in a shared belief that design is not just seen, it's felt,' said Preeyaa Jain, vice president of Orange Tree, adding, ''Memories of Home' is a tribute to the enduring intimacy between memory, craftsmanship, and space.' In addition, there were a few interesting art pieces on display, brought together by Jim Tharakan, founder of Arteflick. He stated, 'In partnership with Pallavi from Our Better Planet, we curated a workshop titled 'Memories on Canvas.' I showcased about 10 artists' works, offering a good variety: oil on canvas, acrylic on canvas, etching, charcoal on paper, a couple of watercolours, and even pen on canvas. I intentionally brought in many different mediums to show the diversity of how art can be created. What added depth to this curation was that I personally know these artists, their influences, their creative processes, and what drives them.' There were about 25 different works from these 10 artists — two are from Hyderabad, including Maredu Ramu, and others from across India — Lucknow, Maharashtra, Chennai, Kerala, Bengaluru, and so on. Jim explained, 'I come from a place where I believe artists should be celebrated while they're alive, not after they're gone. Take MF Hussain, for instance — he's passed on, but his works are being sold for Rs 4 crore, Rs 10 crore, and so on. My focus is: how do we support and celebrate living artists?' The art collector also wants to build the awareness that art can be an asset, just like land. He believes it shouldn't be valued only for aesthetics, something that 'looks good in the house'. It should also carry meaning, identity, and intention. 'And in a space like this (Orange Tree), where art blends with home décor, viewers — whether they're buyers, collectors, or just art lovers — can actually see how a piece might look in a home setting. That's different from viewing it in a stark, white gallery. Here, it becomes more real and relatable,' he added. Alongside that, he also offered an art appreciation space to help people understand how to look at art. The session was designed to help people see and understand art differently and maybe even start viewing it as an asset worth collecting. Jim said that the idea is to go beyond just, 'Oh, that looks nice', and dive deeper into what the artwork communicates. 'Ideally, I would have loved for participants to draw, express, and share visually, but this time it was a conversational setup. We spoke about how they experience art and how they can deepen that experience. It's about shifting the way we see and engage with art,' he expressed.
