Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero Fails to Entice Audience
Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero Fails to Entice AudienceOne of the most awaited films of 2018, Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero was released on December 21. The film also stars actress Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in the lead role. SRK’s dream project, which has been jointly produced by Colour Yellow Productions and Red Chillies Entertainment’s Gauri Khan, has not left much impact on the box office. The story revolved around 38-year-old Bauua Singh (Shah Rukh Khan), a vertically challenged man from Meerut and his attempts to find love. He falls in love with a scientist Aafia Bhinder (Anushka Sharma), who has cerebral palsy. But as he sets his heart on marrying her, he meets Babita Kumari (Katrina Kaif), a leading superstar. And, thus begins the twist and turns of an unusual love triangle. The film turned out to be an ambitious project that failed to deliver on many levels, even with its stellar cast. Most critics and viewers panned the film’s second half, calling it aimless and lost. It was praised for its inspiring concept and storyline, featuring a vertically challenged man, who is definitely a larger-than-life character. While the film has got mixed reviews from the critics, its box office story is a sad tale. The film that was made on the budget of Rs. 200 crore, collected Rs. 20.14 crore on its first day. Zero’s first weekend earning at domestic box office was Rs. 59.07 crore. |
