Akshay Kumar's RS100-Crore Film ‘Sarfira’ Bombed at the Box Office—Earned Less Than RS 25 Crore in India

Despite being one of Bollywood’s busiest stars, Akshay Kumar’s recent career graph has taken a major hit, with flop after flop denting his once-bankable reputation. Among the most painful setbacks was his 2024 film ‘Sarfira’, which had high expectations and a massive Rs100 crore budget—but failed miserably, earning just Rs 24.85 crore in India.

Despite good intentions, decent reviews, and a socially resonant storyline, Sarfira's poor box office response reflects a widening gap between content and audience connection. For an actor once hailed as a guarantee for box office returns, Akshay Kumar’s star power seems to be fading, unless he recalibrates both his project choices and release strategy.
