Bollywood is one of the biggest movie industries of the world as a big number of movies are made every year and a huge amount of money is invested in these movies.

2. 83 (2021):

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer “83” which was based on India’s win of 1983 Cricket World Cup was expected to earn huge as India is a cricket crazy nation but it failed in pulling the crowd towards the theatres.

8. Bombay Velvet (2015):

“Bombay Velvet” was directed by Anurag Kashyap and the famous producer-director Karan Johar also acted in this movie along with Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.

11. Andaz Apna Apna (1994):

Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor starrer “Andaz Apna Apna” is certainly one of the best comedy movies that have ever been made in Bollywood.
