While Saif Ali Khan has enjoyed a long career with several memorable hits, he’s also had his share of box office duds. On his 55th birthday, here’s a look at 7 mega flop movies that failed to work their magic—even with the Chhote Nawab’s star power:

1. Imtihaan (1994)

• Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Deol, Raveena Tandon

• Box Office Collection: ₹3.09 crore

• Why it flopped: Despite a star cast, the film failed to attract audiences or critics and quickly faded away.

2. Dil Tera Deewana (1996)

• Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Twinkle Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha

• Box Office Collection: ₹3.58 crore

• Why it flopped: Weak plot and lackluster chemistry failed to save this romantic drama.

3. Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein (2001)

• Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Dia Mirza, R. Madhavan

• Box Office Collection: ₹5.52 crore

• Why it flopped: The film underperformed on release but later gained cult status through TV and its music.

4. Ek Hasina Thi (2004)

• Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Urmila Matondkar

• Box Office Collection: ₹4.64 crore

• Why it flopped: Critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful at the time. Sriram Raghavan’s gripping thriller later found appreciation.

5. Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (2008)

• Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Ameesha Patel

• Box Office Collection: ₹21.67 crore

6. Humshakals (2014)

• Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Ram Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh

• Box Office Collection: ₹63.72 crore

• Why it flopped: Despite a decent collection, the film was widely panned by critics and ridiculed for its content, hurting the producers’ prospects.

7. Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021)

• Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Sharvari

• Box Office Collection: ₹12.50 crore
