Kangana Ranaut renowned for her powerhouse performances and fearless choices has long been a standout figure in Bollywood. With numerous accolades including National Awards and a reputation for delivering unforgettable roles she has earned widespread admiration. However despite her undeniable talent and strong on-screen presence her recent films have faced challenges at the box office failing to leave a lasting mark in the way her earlier works did. Let us know in detail why Kanganas films have been struggling at the box office. Kangana Ranaut has starred in 31 films with 22 of them being labelled as box office failures. This highlights the challenges she has faced in achieving commercial success. Her latest film Emergency is her sixth straight flop. In the last ten years out of 11 releases only Manikarnika – The Queen of Jhansi (2019) performed moderately well while the rest struggled to make an impact at the box office. Since 2015 Kangana Ranaut has not delivered a major box office hit. This period aligns with her emergence as a leading actress known for headlining solo projects yet it also reveals a gap between her film selections and their commercial success. Her recent releases have experienced a significant drop in box office earnings averaging approximately Rs. 11.5 crore in lifetime collections post-COVID. This marks a decline from her pre-pandemic average of Rs 15 crore showcasing the evolving tastes of audiences and the hurdles mid-budget films face in today’s competitive movie industry. More notably her last three films—Tejas Dhaakad and Thalaivii—have struggled to even reach double-digit lifetime earnings. These figures though disheartening reflect the broader challenges content-driven films encounter in a market increasingly dominated by big-budget franchises and high-octane cinematic experiences.
