2025's Biggest Flops: Star Power & Budgets Fail to Save Top Films

• 2025 saw major box office disappointments despite huge budgets and star-studded casts, leading to significant financial losses.
• "Game Changer" (Rs. 450 cr budget, Rs. 195 cr collection) and "War 2" (Rs. 400 cr budget, Rs. 365 cr worldwide) were among the biggest financial disasters.
• Films like "Thug Life" (Kamal Haasan) and "Sikandar" (Salman Khan, A.R. Murugadoss) also failed to recover costs due to poor content and negative reviews.
• "Masti 4" and "Emergency" suffered from weak storylines, routine comedy, and inability to attract audiences, resulting in massive losses.
• Hollywood's "M3GAN 2.0" disappointed due to a genre shift, while "The Bengal Files" faced alleged political pressures.

Why It Matters: 2025 proved that star power and massive budgets don't guarantee box office success; content is king.
