Filmmaking is an expensive business with most of the big films costing crores, the bigger the star the bigger the budget.
However, there is no guarantee of return on the huge capital invested in the production of a film, from production to casting and VFX, the latest proof of this has come in the form of an Indian film released last year.
The Lady Killer, which was released in theaters in November 2023, has proved to be the biggest flop in Indian history, with 99.99% of the budget being lost.
After its release, this film could do business of only 60 thousand rupees in 10 months. 45 crores movie is now available on YouTube for free but no one is watching it even here and it managed to get only 2.4 million views on YouTube in a month.
On the first day of its release, only 293 tickets were sold across India and now the number has increased to just 500.
Directed by Ajay Bahl, The Lady Killer stars Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles.
