Biggest Letdown 2024: Fahadh, Kamal, or Akshay?

2024 seemed to be a rollercoaster ride for Indian Cinema. Several films having optimum hype failed to deliver at the box office whereas some regional masterpieces claimed to be sleeper hits.

As it stands, several superstars failed to match their stardom and hype when it comes to maintaining their overall box office image and persona. The very first on the list is the Khiladi of Bollywood.

Akshay Kumar aimed to make 2024 a better year for him after his successive flops in recent years. However, his rough patch continued as 2024 saw him in films like Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan further demolishing his stardom.

Though he skillfully tried to make a comeback mid-year with Sarfira and Khel Khel Mein, audiences didn’t seem to appreciate these films resulting in a string of flops for Akshay.

Once a dependable actor is now trying hard to be relevant in 2024. Talking about dependable actors, Fahadh Faasil was one name that reached several households countrywide with his performance in Aavesham.

However, that seemed to be the peak for the actor as he went downhill from there. With his mediocre performances in Vettaiyan and Bougainvillea, fans expected huge things from him in Pushpa 2.

However, his performance was again ill-written demeaning his character. His legendary performance was instantly turned into a forgettable one after Aavesham.

We have to talk about Kamal Hassan if we talk about legends. Hassan had a splendid performance in Kalki but the fact that it was such a short role might have done injustice to him.

What hit rock bottom for the renowned legend was his film Indian 2. The film was a huge disaster at the box office and was disliked by everyone upon its release.

As 2024 wraps up, these superstars might have underperformed themselves and let down their fans given the potential they had. It remains to be seen how 2025 shapes up for these professionals.
