Some movies seem to be a blockbuster at the box office because of all the hype they created on social media. But all the good hype doesn’t always work as a good thing. Let’s have a look at some of the movies that we thought might break the box office records but didn’t manage to do so.

Why Cheat India
Though the film didn’t really have much of a hype going for it, one still expected an opening of around 5-6 crore.
