Superstar Rajinikanth's Films Remade in Hindi

​      Superstar Rajinikanth has given some of the biggest hits in the last few decades like Baashaa, Padaiyappa, Chandramukhi, Sivaji, Enthiran and Jailer. The success of these movies elevated his status as a phenomenon, adored by thousands of fans. Since his debut in Aboorva Ragangal, Rajnikanth has acted in over 111 movies in Tamil and 170 movies in all languages put together.

In his career spanning 46 years, unfortunately many of his movies have also met with ill fate in the box office, sometimes forcing the distributors to demand reimbursements for the losses they incurred in releasing his movies. We look back at Rajinikanth’s biggest duds in the Tamil Film Industry, aka Kollywood, through the years starting from 1978 when he started playing the hero till 2021, when his movie Annaatthe released and sank without a trace. 

 Please note: 

* This is a list of Thalaivaa's Tamil Movies only * Hindi, Telugu, Kannada movies & Bloodstone are not included * Some of his average grossers like Mr. Bharat and Uzhaippaali are also not mentioned as this list only include those movies which were complete disasters which had a poor run in theaters and cannot be considered as 'Average' or profitable.
