Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor consistently draws attention, both for his film projects and his personal life. Prior to his marriage to Alia Bhatt, he was in a relationship with Katrina Kaif. The two not only acted together in films but also shared a real-life romance. However, one of their collaborative films performed poorly at the box office, failing to recoup even half of its production budget.
Despite their separation, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif continued working together. Their professional relationship remained intact. During this period, a film of theirs premiered, generating considerable anticipation, but it ultimately disappointed the audience. Let’s examine which film was a significant setback for the pair.
‘Jagga Jasoos’: A Major Disappointment
Both Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are well-regarded figures in Hindi cinema, with numerous successful films to their names. However, they have also experienced box office failures. The film in question, a major flop in their careers, is ‘Jagga Jasoos.’
Financial Setbacks
‘Jagga Jasoos’ was released on July 14, 2017, under the direction of Anurag Basu. Ranbir portrayed Jagga, and Katrina played Shruti. The cast also included Saurabh Shukla, Sayani Gupta, Saswata Chatterjee, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film’s production budget was 125 crore rupees. Unfortunately, it only managed to earn 54 crore rupees in India, less than half of the budget. The worldwide collection reached just 84 crore rupees.
Other Collaborations
In addition to ‘Jagga Jasoos’, Ranbir and Katrina have appeared together in ‘Raajneeti’ and ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.’ While ‘Jagga Jasoos’ was a flop, ‘Raajneeti’ and ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ were box office successes.
