Bangalore: The last decade was an exceptionally good one for the Bollywood film industry. Movies like 3 idiots, Dabangg, Wanted, Ghajini, Om Shanti Om and Gadar Ek Prem Katha gave a whole new meaning to box office success with their overwhelming theatrical run. Then there were other movies like Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai that met with great critical and commercial success. In all these glitz and glamour of box office success, we have forgotten certain movies, certain good movies that failed to do well in the box office. Let us look at 10 movies of the past decade that 'deserved' to be successful but failed to hit that mark. 10. Road
This Ram Gopal Varma movie, although a rip off from certain Hollywood flick, was tastefully made with powerhouse performances from the male leads, Vivek Oberoi and Manoj Bajpai, and directed by Rajat Mukherjee. While Vivek effortlessly slipped into the shoes of what can be described as an angry young man persona who is on the run with his lover (Antara Mali), Manoj Bajpai gives life to antagonist, a psychopathic serial killer, in an impeccable manner. The odd low angle shots, the background score, the color contrast, the aptly placed slow motion shots, all works very well in this tightly paced thriller. Mukherjee managed to keep the audience on the edge of their seat throughout the two hour plus duration of the movie. Despite all these, the movie failed to do well in the box office.
