Kangana Ranaut’s Box Office Flop Tejas Highly Disappoints, Viewers Troll The Film ‘Ye To Comedy Hogayi’

Kangana’s Box Office Blues and Tejas’ OTT Tumble

Kangana Ranaut’s run at the box office has been rough for a while now. Except for the historical drama “Manikarnika,” most of her recent films haven’t fared well. The solo releases “Chandramukhi 2” and “Dhaakad” were big flops, and even her multilingual project “Thalaivi” didn’t do as well as hoped. Movies like “Judgmental Hai Kya,” “Simran,” “Pangaa,” “Rangoon,” and “Katti Batti” were also disappointing.

This trend continued with her latest film, “Tejas,” which released on the OTT platform Zee5. Unlike “Manikarnika,” which did well even after shifting to OTT, “Tejas” hasn’t found its footing there either. Viewers watching it online haven’t been impressed, calling it one of the worst movies of 2023.

It’s common for some box office bombs to find an audience on OTT platforms, salvaging some of their reputation. But with “Tejas,” it seems Kangana might be facing her first OTT disaster too. So, what went wrong?

Here are some possible reasons:

• Lack of appeal: While “Tejas” tells the story of a brave female fighter pilot, the overall execution might not have resonated with viewers. The plot, direction, or acting might have fallen short of expectations.
• Overcrowded market: The streaming space is flooded with content, making it harder for even good movies to stand out. “Tejas” may have simply gotten lost in the shuffle.
• Controversial image: Kangana’s outspoken personality and past controversies might have put some viewers off, impacting the film’s reception.

It’s still too early to say conclusively if “Tejas” will be Kangana’s first OTT disaster. However, the initial response is undeniably negative. Whether the film finds its footing in the coming weeks or remains a critical and audience dud remains to be seen.

One thing’s for sure: Kangana’s recent track record, both at the box office and on OTT, raises questions about the trajectory of her career. She’ll need to choose her projects carefully and ensure they live up to the expectations of her fans and critics alike.

A reddit user shared a scene from the film and it triggered a lot of reactions from people.

One wrote, “Saw it yesterday only thing I could say the film didn’t have the hold. Like it was not something that would make u sit. And I have watched whole cringe dramas with awful dubbing.”

Another added, “My school teacher who directed our dramas for annual function was a better director than this.”

A third went on to add, “Nobody is trolling this film. since nobody actually saw the film.”

A fourth added, “This is comically bad.. kangana is very lucky people don’t take potshots at her like she does all the time.”
