When a movie is made with a huge budget the expectations of it performing well become higher. However in some cases the opposite happens. Something similar happened in this films case as well. Despite having nine big actors in the lead this film became a huge flop. Not only that but it also struggled to recover its budget. Names like Madhuri Dixit Sanjay Dutt Kiara Advani Kriti Sanon Varun Dhawan and more were a part of the film. If you are unable to guess the movie then let us tell you—we are talking about the mega-starrer Kalank.
Released in 2019 Karan Johar Hiroo Johar Sajid Nadiadwala and Apoorva Mehta together produced this film. The movie featured nine big names from the industry including Alia Bhatt Varun Dhawan Madhuri Dixit Aditya Roy Kapur Sonakshi Sinha Sanjay Dutt Kiara Advani Kriti Sanon and Kunal Khemu.
However despite having a huge cast and a mega budget the movie turned out to be a huge flop. According to Sacnilk with a budget of Rs 150 crore the movie only collected Rs 84 crore at the box office making it a major failure.
Talking about its worldwide collection Kalank earned Rs 146.80 crore globally. The film could not even recover its cost. It was released on a total of 5300 screens—4000 screens in India and 1300 screens abroad.
Though the audience appreciated the performances of Sanjay Dutt and Varun Dhawan the storyline failed to capture their attention. The movie is considered one of the biggest flops of Alia Bhatts career.
