Khoobsurat: This remake of the Hrishikesh Mukherjee classic had Sonam Kapoor in the central role.

Sonam may not be the best actress one can hope to come across, but she did show a marked improvement in the role of a girl who falls in love with a guy who is already engaged.

Bobby Jasoos: Vidya Balan is becoming a trendsetter of sorts by choosing to do woman-centric films. In Bobby Jasoos, she changed her look and played a detective.

Though Vidya Balan created magic at the box-office with her women oriented films like Kahaani and The Dirty Picture, her detective drama Bobby Jasoos couldn't pull in the crowds.

Vidya managed to hit the right chord with the audience in terms of her 12 different avatars but the film turned out to be a major let down for her fans and movie buffs.

Revolver Rani: We all had sky high expectations with this Kangana Ranuat-Vir Das starrer especially after her super successful film Queen.

From critics to the aam janta, everyone had their eyes on Kangana's Revolver Rani. However, Sai Kabir's Revolver Rani which was a satirical love story against the backdrop of politics, failed miserably.

In fact even Kangana's fans were not impressed with the actress's desi gangster avatar in the film.

Dedh Ishqiya: Madhuri Dixit and Huma Qureshi-starrer Dedh Ishqiya was also a woman-centric film in its own right.

The sequel to Ishqiya, revolved around new characters played by Madhuri and Huma and also carried forward the drama in the lives of Khalujaan and Babban.

The multi-starrer film had some brilliant performances. The film also talked about the LGBT community which is a subject that has not been touched by mainstream Bollywood.

Lakshmi: National Award-winning director Nagesh Kukunoor has made some heart-wrenching films.

Be it Iqbal or Dor, the director has always touched people's lives with his films. In 2014, Nagesh brought Lakshmi to the audience.

Though his film was not a commercially successful one, it definitely won the hearts of the critics.
