Shahrukh Khan.
Shahrukh Khan is the biggest star in Indian cinema at present, which is why he is called the box office king. He returned to the big screen in 2023 after a gap of four years and yet delivered two blockbuster films. Shahrukh has had this tag of superstardom for almost three decades. His stardom started with ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ released in 1995. This became the first big solo blockbuster of his career. In the same year, Shahrukh also gave the biggest flop in his career so far, a film which shocked the audience.
This film proved to be a disaster
Seven films of Shahrukh were released in the year 1995. These included blockbusters like ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ and ‘Karan Arjun’, as well as flops like ‘Jamaana Deewana’ and ‘Guddu’. But the film we are talking about was the actor’s last release of the year from which there were a lot of expectations. People thought that this film would be successful at the box office, but the opposite happened and it suffered huge losses. This film was Mukul S Anand’s ‘Trimurti’. Made with a budget of Rs 11 crore, it was India’s most expensive film at that time, leaving behind ‘Ajooba’ and ‘Shanti Kranti’ and this record remained intact until Kamal Haasan’s ‘Indian’ made Rs 15 crore. It didn’t break even with a production budget of Rs.
flopped movie
However, ‘Trimurti’ was a disappointment at the box office and could earn only Rs 8 crore in India. This is despite the fact that ‘Trimurti’ had a record opening, becoming the first Indian film to earn Rs 1 crore in a day, but the film tanked after the opening weekend due to poor reviews and negative word of mouth. My face fell.
the story was like this
‘Trimurti’ was a revenge story, starring Shah Rukh, Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor in the roles of three brothers. Also Priya Tendulkar and Mohan Agashe were in lead roles. However, the shooting of the film began with Sanjay Dutt instead of Anil as in the original cast, but after Sanjay Dutt was jailed in an illegal arms case, the project was put on hold. The actor had already shot several scenes. Anil Kapoor was then brought in by producer Subhash Ghai. The release date was postponed from December 1994 to December 1995. However, due to production delays, the film’s budget increased and the buzz diminished.
The director made these films
Film director Mukul Anand made his debut in 1983 with the Gujarati film ‘Kanku Ni Keemaan’. A year later, he entered Bollywood. Over the next decade he directed nine more films, including ‘Hum’, ‘Agneepath’ and ‘Khuda Gawah’, starring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role. ‘Trimurti’ was his biggest film and sadly also his last film as a director. He produced two more films, ‘Army’ and ‘Prithvi’, before returning to direction with ‘Dus’ starring Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt. However, he died of a heart attack at the age of 45 in September 1997, leaving the film incomplete.
