Vicky Kaushal, known for his impactful performances, has charmed viewers over his ten-year acting journey in Bollywood. He has consistently delivered compelling performances. However, not all of Kaushal’s films have succeeded at the box office. One such film, with a substantial budget, failed to recover a significant portion of its investment. This article delves into the commercial failure of one of Kaushal’s films, which was made with a budget of ₹45 crore but only managed to gross around ₹6 crore.
Kaushal commenced his acting career with smaller roles before transitioning to lead roles. His acting debut as a lead was in the 2015 film ‘Masaan’. He is recognized for his roles in successful films like ‘Raazi’, ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’, ‘Chhava’, and ‘Sanju’. Besides the hits, he has had his share of films that did not do well.
The film discussed here is ‘The Great Indian Family,’ which was released on September 22, 2023. The cast includes Manushi Chhillar, Saloni Khanna, Bhuvan Arora, Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa, and Srishti Dixit. The film was directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Aditya Chopra.
In ‘The Great Indian Family’, Kaushal portrayed Ved Vyas Tripathi, also known as Billu. The film clashed with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan,’ which was a massive success. Unfortunately, ‘The Great Indian Family’ did not fare well, earning only ₹5.6 crore at the Indian box office against a budget of ₹45 crore.
Kaushal’s most recent hit film was ‘Chhava.’ His upcoming project is ‘Love & War,’ where he will star alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. This film is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and is expected to be released in 2026.
