Released with high expectations, the film surprisingly failed to connect with audiences despite its patriotic theme. Which film is this? This film was LOC Kargil, released in 2003 and directed by JP Dutta, who is well-known for his war-based movies. It featured 33 actors and portrayed the bravery of the Indian Army during the 1999 Kargil War. Despite its grand scale and a long runtime of 4 hours and 15 minutes, the film underperformed at the box office. Made on a budget of Rs 33 crore, it managed to earn only Rs 31 crore, becoming the biggest flop of 2023. Who were the actors? The star cast included names of Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, Suniel Shetty, Abhishek Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Akshaye Khanna, Manoj Bajpayee, Ashutosh Rana, Sudesh Berry, Raj Babbar, Mohnish Bahl and Avtar Gill were seen in important roles in the film. While Rani Mukerji, Mahima Chaudhary, Kareena Kapoor, Raveena Tandon and Esha Deol were also important parts of the film. However, despite this big star cast, the film proved to be a disaster.
