In contrast to Bollywood stars, who think it is relatively simple to resurge back to fame following five flops in a row, situations are no cozy for directors. Ram Gopal Verma, the maverick director whose film Satya (the only real film to obtain a Five star rating when in India) epitomized like a work of sophistication and genius has disappointed Bollywood with 'Ram Gopal Verma ki Aag.' The film that was said to be a tribute to the classic superhit Sholay ended up as an insulting parody, which too with dollops of boredom.

The Mumbai Mirror,a newspaper from Occasions Group, India, has reportedly stated that it requires 3 flops consecutively for Bollywood directors to bite dust. If you're able to make change making a great commercially effective movie following the initial few disappointments, you may still maintain the reckoning. Should you still don't mend your ways, you are just like forgotten if you don't appreciate some goodwill in the market. As everyone knows, Bollywood includes a brief attention span. Where's Joy Augustine, the producer of Tere Mere Sapne...He along with his hero Chandrachur Singh appear to have ...
... disappeared in oblivion.

There are plenty of examples to know how directors direct for their doom. Ramesh Sippy that has given Bollywood's greatest hit Sholay and television's biggest achievement Buniyaad, were built with a merry round of hits with Shaan, Shakti and Saagar. However after Akayla along with a couple of forgettable movies, Sippy was nowhere in the picture(no pun intended). Subash Ghai, a pompous director consistently gave hits by means of Karz, Vidhaata, Meri Jung, Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak, Pardes, Taal and then...the curtain fell on him. Subash Ghai faced double whammy with Yaadein and Kisna. Kisna actually did not just seal the fate of Subash Ghai but almost finished Vivek Oberoi's profession till Shoot out at Lokhandwala resurrected him three years later on in 2007.

Raj Kumar Santoshi gave us Ghayal, Damini, Andaz-Apna Apna(the biggest video hit) but failed with a string of flops-China Gate, Lajja, The Legend of Bhagat Singh and Family(the biggest dud in his repertoire). There is Khakee which had flashes of directorial brilliance but general his report card is questionable. Dharmesh Dharshan tasted luck with Raja Hindustani, however steadily went downhill with flops like Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya, Bewaffa, Aap Ki Khatir. He is proven to give flops using the newest dud -Shakalaka Boom Boom.

Let's now take the war-hero J.P. Dutta, who directed the incredible movie Border. JP Dutta who had been the toast of actors throughout the shooting of LOC, discovered himself lonely after Refugee and LOC Kargil bombed. Whatever little faith the crowd and actors had in him diminished, following he delivered the mindless Umrao Jaan.

Sooraj Barjatya, the king of clean romance gifted us using the invaluable Maine Pyar Kiya. He later on followed up using the greatest success in Bollywood Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, the milestone film which inspired many other films. However his formula and experiments went incorrectly thereafter. His Hum Saath Saath was too traditional for individuals to digest. He changed gear and began introducing glamour and dare-bare display of female skin in leading Prem ki Diwani hoon. This too bombed badly because Sooraj wasn't any Ram Gopal Verma or that matter Feroz Khan, who could showcase female sensuality perfectly. Sooraj Bajatya then returned to his old style of film-making and made a squeaky clean romance Vivah. The film would be a savior for Barjatyas as it did well in UP and Bihar. If this film had bombed as well, individuals would have asked Sooraj:Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.
