- •Andaz Apna Apna, a 1994 comedy starring Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, was misunderstood upon release but is now a beloved classic for its unique humor.
- •Sehar (2005), inspired by gangster Shriprakash Shukla, was praised for its realism and depth, especially in the Hindi belt, despite its initial box office failure.
- •Tumbbad (2018), a unique horror-fantasy film, took 20 years to make and flopped initially but became a massive hit upon its re-release, collecting 35 crore rupees.
- •Sanam Teri Kasam (2016), a romantic film, was a flop but resonated deeply with young audiences, becoming a blockbuster upon its re-release 8 years later.
