Ranbir Kapoor, a popular figure in Bollywood, often grabs attention for both his professional achievements and his personal life. Before his marriage to Alia Bhatt, he was romantically involved with Katrina Kaif. Together, they starred in several movies and also shared a relationship off-screen. One particular film they made together, however, turned out to be a major disappointment at the box office, failing to earn back even half of its production costs.
Even after their personal paths diverged, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif continued to work together professionally. During this period, a film of theirs was released with high expectations, but it didn’t resonate with the audience. Let’s delve into which film marked a significant setback for the duo.
Ranbir and Katrina’s Collaboration: A Flop
Both Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are renowned actors in the Hindi film industry, with a track record of successful movies. Yet, they’ve also experienced their share of failures. The film we’re discussing is ‘Jagga Jasoos,’ a notable flop in their careers.
Budget Woes
‘Jagga Jasoos’ hit theaters on July 14, 2017, under the direction of Anurag Basu. Ranbir Kapoor played the role of Jagga, and Katrina Kaif portrayed Shruti. The cast also included Saurabh Shukla, Sayani Gupta, Saswata Chatterjee, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film’s production budget was a substantial 125 crore rupees. However, in India, it only managed to earn 54 crore rupees, which is less than half of the initial investment. The global collection amounted to a mere 84 crore rupees.
Other Joint Projects
Besides ‘Jagga Jasoos’, Ranbir and Katrina have also co-starred in films such as ‘Raajneeti’ and ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.’ While ‘Jagga Jasoos’ was a flop, ‘Raajneeti’ and ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ saw success at the box office.
