Farah Khan Defends Tees Maar Khan: Says It Wasn’t a Flop, Just ‘Ripped Apart’
Bollywood filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan has sparked a fresh debate over the box office performance of her 2010 directorial, Tees Maar Khan, starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif.
Responding to a social media post that labeled the movie as a commercial “flop,” the Om Shanti Om director was quick to defend the film. Taking to Instagram, Khan set the record straight on the film’s earnings.
“Just for your knowledge, it made ₹60 crore then! Not a flop… just ripped apart,” she wrote, suggesting the movie was financially successful but failed to meet critical or public expectations.
Farah Khan’s defense soon made its way to platforms like Reddit, where fans largely supported her assertion, suggesting the film has found a new audience over time.
However, not everyone on the platform was convinced, with some critics still asserting the film’s poor quality. One Redditor remarked, “It’s been 15 years, accept it now, Farah ji,” while another simply countered, “It wasn’t a hit either.”
Tees Maar Khan is a heist comedy directed by Farah Khan and produced by Shirish Kunder and Twinkle Khanna. The film stars Akshay Kumar as Tabrez Mirza Khan, a flamboyant con artist, alongside Katrina Kaif and Akshaye Khanna. The plot follows the misadventures of the notorious criminal as he tricks an entire village into helping him steal a train filled with priceless antiques under the guise of shooting a movie.
