Without a mesmerizing on-screen coupling that oozes small-town love, Bollywood films would not be the same. On the other hand, theoretically, many great combinations result in a mediocre on-screen performance. Let’s look at a few on-screen couples from Bollywood right now that lack chemistry.
Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi
It was intended for Siddhant Chaturvedi and Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone to have a rebellious relationship. Fans were disappointed with Shakun Batra’s screenplay for Gehraiyaan, which left them wanting more.
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor
The real-life couple’s lackluster on-screen chemistry in Brahmastra: Part One appeared to let the viewers down. Their chemistry was obviously not the focal point of the action, especially with so many other factors at play.
Deepika Padukone and Hritik Roshan
Fans eagerly anticipated Deepika and Hrithik Roshan’s pairing in Siddharth Anand’s Fighter, as they are two of Bollywood’s most attractive performers. The viewer was left with nothing more to see but the two characters’ incessant squinting and staring throughout the entire film since the script was just not written in their favor.
Salman Khan and Disha Patani
Finding chemistry between these two was certain to be difficult given their age difference.Radhe received harsh criticism for its awkward coupling, with some claiming that Disha Patani appeared to be “uncomfortable” when performing beside Salman Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu
The romantic part of Dunki was completely obscured by the lack of chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu. Supporters criticized the film for not putting enough emphasis on romance.
Tara Sutaria and Tiger Shroff
One of the numerous reasons why Student of the Year 2 failed at the box office and fell short of the high standards set by its predecessor is the discord between the two main actors. The casting of Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria drew harsh criticism due to their nonexistent on-screen chemistry.
Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chhillar
Samrat Prithviraj’s unsatisfactory choice of Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chhillar drew harsh criticism. The extreme age disparity between the two costars was criticized by fans.
Prabhas and Kriti Sanon
With a 700 crore budget, Adipurush is the most costly Indian film ever made. Critics noted that Prabhas and Kriti’s lack of chemistry made for an unsatisfactory on-screen couple.
