• India’s biggest flop film had Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles, Aishwarya never worked with Abhishek again, the film was…

This film of a real life couple turned out to be a huge flop. Couldnt even recover its budget. Find the name inside.

In the fleeting world of cinema. There is nothing predictable. Sometimes, even the best cast, massively productive, and the couple who are widely hailed for their off-screen work can also fall flat at the box office. With this unpredictable industry where the fate of the film changes every Friday, it’s impossible to figure out the building blocks of a blockbuster.

One such tale is of a film that had high expectations with its romantic cast that’s grounded in reality. However, what happened at the box office was something nobody saw coming.

The film we are talking about is none other than Raavan. Mani Ratnam’s film featured the real-life couple- Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan together. Therefore, its failure just didn’t make sense to the movie critics and filmmakers.

With the blend of deep emotions and drama. This film offered everything from the direction of the most respected filmmaker, a powerful star cast of real real-life couple to music by Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman, and lyrics by the legendary Gulzar, but still, the movie couldn’t make a mark at the box office.

However, Ravan wasn’t the film where Abhishek and Aishwarya starred together. Before this, the duo came in films like Guru, Sarkar Raj, Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, and Kuch Naa Kaho. Their on-screen bond was widely hailed, and after tying the knot in 2007, which was the most-talked-about wedding of Bollywood, fans expected to see more of their magic on screen.

The film’s plot revolved around the crux of Ramayana, but with a modern twist, and it emphasises Ravana’s perspective. Made on a budget of Rs. 55 crores, the film couldn’t even cover its cost and collected only Rs. 39.37 crores in India and Rs. 49.57 crores worldwide.

The movie’s failure also marked the end of Abhishek and Aishwarya’s on-screen collaborations to date. After Raavan, the couple never appeared in a film together again. Interestingly, in this film, Abhishek wasn’t even the classic hero; he portrayed the role of an antagonist, which might’ve also challenged viewer expectations.

Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are shining in their careers today. Aishwarya was last seen at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 with her daughter Aaradhya. Abhishek will be seen in Housefull 5.
