​​Bigg Boss 12 to Khichdi: Shows that failed to meet audience expectations in 2018

Year 2018 saw a lot of shows that kickstarted with a lot of buzz and hype created around them. While a few came out with flying colours, a few did not deliver what was promised and somehow shut shop soon. Here are a few shows that did not do well. Photo- Instagram.

2/12

Bigg Boss 12

Bigg Boss 11 set benchmark so high that Bigg Boss 12 season could just not match up to its level despite having good stars on board. Though the reason for this season's failure is still unknown, it is probably because viewers expected this season to be as grand as the previous one which, it did not turn up as expected.

3/12

Khichdi

Audiences were extremely happy and eager to see the reprise version of their decade-old favourite show Khichdi. Somehow the show did not grab the attention it needed and shut shop after a few months. Photo- Instagram.

4/12

Dus Ka Dum

The show was extremely hyped as it was set to return to the small screens after 9 years. The show to be hosted by Salman Khan made the audience extremely excited but somehow the show failed to click with the audience. Photo- Instagram.

5/12

India's Next Superstars

Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty judged the show and audiences expected it to be a hit with two stalwarts of the Bollywood industry on the judging seat. But somehow despite the much hype, the show did not garner many eyeballs. Photo- Instagram.

6/12

Belan Wali Bahu

The show was hyped for marking the comeback actress Krystle D'Souza's return to the small screen. The show couldn't click with the audience due to its poor gigs and comic acts. (Photo: Instagram)

7/12

Laado 2

Laado 2

The second season of the hit show Laado faced dull response by the audience. The show that starred Balika Vadhu actress Avika Gor in the lead did not deliver as expected. (Photo: Instagram)

8/12

Dastaan-E-Mohabbat Salim Anarkali

Starring Shaheer Sheikh and Sonarika Bhadoria in the lead, the show still failed to impress the audiences. Revolving around Salim and Anarkali's eternal love story, the show had created a lot of hype but failed to keep the audiences glued to their serial. (Photo - Instagram)

9/12

Shrimaan Shrimati Phir Se

Shrimaan Shrimati that was back on the small screen tried to recreate the same magic that it had on the audience in the 90s. But somehow had nothing new to offer to the viewers and despite a good cast it failed to spell its cast on the audience. (Photo: Instagram)

10/12

Porus

Porus was said to be one of the most expensive shows of the small screen. However, it failed to impress the viewers despite its larger than life canvas. (Photo: Instagram)

11/12

Prithvi Vallabh

The show promised grand visuals and it even boasted of a fine star cast. But it did not create any magic on the small screen and went off air in sometime. (Photo: Instagram)

12/12

Dil Hi Toh Hai

Dil Hi Toh Hai

The show was hyped a lot due to Karan Kundra. It marked Karan's comeback to the small screen in a fictional show after a long time. Despite a lot of buzz around the show, it did not hit the right chord with the audience and was taken off air soon.
