Farah Khan Exposes Bollywood’s Celebration of Tees Maar Khan Flop in Viral Vlog

Revealing insiders’ schadenfreude, the vlog frames the film’s Gen Z cult revival as a lesson in resilience.

Overview

  • In her July vlog at Jackky Bhagnani and Rakul Preet Singh’s Mumbai home, Farah Khan recounted how industry peers cheered when her 2010 film Tees Maar Khan failed.
  • Tees Maar Khan was made on a Rs 45 crore budget and grossed over Rs 100 crore yet was still labeled a dud upon release.
  • Farah highlighted Bollywood’s tendency to revel in others’ setbacks, saying insiders are often happier about failures than successes.
  • She noted that the film has since been embraced as a Gen Z cult classic, transforming its reputation more than a decade later.
