Several major Bollywood films, including Salman Khan's 'Sikandar' and Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency', have been identified as box-office disappointments of 2025. 'Sikandar', despite a large budget and Eid release, failed to recoup its costs due to weak word-of-mouth and mixed reviews. 'Emergency' faced controversy and audience disinterest, also failing to recover its budget. These films highlight challenges faced by big-name stars and politically-charged subjects.
