2022 has been a very tough year for Bollywood industry in terms of making money. One of such Bollywood movie was Kangana's "Dhaakad"( an spy action packed film). The movie had an massive budget of Ind rupee 85 crore but the movie only managed to earn nearly 3 crore Ind rupee. This was a bit embarrassing for Kangana as well seeing her previous record and performance. 

Storyline:

       The movie stars Kangana as Agni who is well-trained field agent. She is tasked to capture a big weapon and human trafficker. However, the journey of Agni goes tooks unexpected turns.

What went wrong?

       The movie has good marketing and hype/buzz but it failed to pull audience into the cinemas. In most cinemas, the movie wasn't even aired. So what went wrong with it.

          On of the potential reason could be the clash of release date between Dhaakad and Bhool bhoolaya 2. Bhool bhoolaya 2 had flying start with collection of Ind Rupee 180 crores. Dhaakad on the other hand, failed to pull its success.

            Another reason could be lack of public interest and response. Despite massive marketing, the audience wasn't interested in watching the movie. Independent film trade analyst Sumit Kadel explains the reasons behind the debacle that ‘Dhaakad’ has turned out to be. In his opinion, ‘Dhaakad’ alone is not a standalone story to have been subjected to such poor turnout. There’s a pattern, big budget films are getting severely bombed by the audience in cinemas.Sumit told IANS, “Post-pandemic, many big films led by big stars like ‘Anek‘ and ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ tanked at the box office badly. They failed to collect even Rs 15 crore in their lifetime. Same happened with ‘Dhaakad’, audience were not at all interested in watching a woman-centric Hollywood style kind of action film.”Release time disaster:

It is commonly knows that Dhaakad failed to pull audience. On of the effects, was empty cinemas. Dhaakad only sold 20 movie tickets all over India resulting in opening earnings of less than Ind rupee 5000. Yes, you read it right, only 5000 rupees. 

Public reaction:

       Offcourse people on social media weren't going to let it go and they took to internet to roast the movie and actress as much they can. Film caught attention of many  meme pages. Some of them are listed below:
