Farah Khan Says Bollywood Celebrated Tees Maar Khan's Failure: ‘Abhi Aayi Na Line Par'
Farah Khan recalls the failure of Tees Maar Khan, revealing how Bollywood insiders celebrated it. More than a decade after its release, Tees Maar Khan still follows Farah Khan like a shadow—and she's not hiding from it. In her latest YouTube vlog, the filmmaker openly revisits the spectacular box office failure of her 2010 heist comedy while touring the luxe home of producer Jackky Bhagnani and actor Rakul Preet Singh. What begins as a casual lunch visit quickly transforms into a sharp, revealing conversation about success, setbacks, and the not-so-pretty truths of Bollywood. 'Tees Maar Khan is a legend among Gen Z," Farah says, half-laughing, half-owning it. 'They don't care about my other films. Karenge, banayenge, aur badi banayenge." But before the redemption, came the sting. 'I remember during Tees Maar Khan's release, there was literally a celebration in the film industry. People who I have worked with were like, 'Abhi aayi na line par.'" Her voice carries that familiar mix of hurt and humour that makes her such a compelling storyteller. 'In our industry, more than being happy for your success, people are happy for other people's failure." The vlog begins in classic Farah fashion—with her and her cook Dilip arriving on the wrong floor before being ushered into Jackky and Rakul's palatial residence. The banter starts early. 'Jackky, hum logon ko bhi producer banna hai," she teases while scanning their marble kitchen. Jackky's deadpan response? 'Producer nahi banna." To which Farah quips, 'Don't become a producer, because they had ten floors earlier and after they became producers, only 5 are left." As they prepare Sindhi mutton and sip anecdotes, the conversation shifts between Jackky's party-boy past and Rakul's penchant for pristine kitchens. But it's Farah who, knowingly or not, steals the scene. When Jackky opens up about negative industry chatter surrounding his COVID-era release Bellbottom, Farah immediately relates. 'That was a big one ya. People get destroyed. For you to just keep on going, Vashu ji deserves a hats-off." It's a sentiment Jackky doesn't take lightly. 'Our training comes from him only. Footpath par saree bechte the. I wasn't born at that time. But in front of me also, the same thing happened during Om Jai Jagdish. I have seen him going from zero to 'chalo saath mein milke banaate hain' 3–4 times." The vlog also detours into how Jackky and Rakul first met—over a bottle of vodka during the lockdown. 'I felt it was a good chance for human interaction," Jackky grins. Rakul adds, 'We came in PPE kits, sanitized the bottle, took it, and left. We never even invited him inside!" But even in those romantic detours, Tees Maar Khan keeps resurfacing—because for Farah, it's not just a film, it's a benchmark of resilience. A reminder that in Bollywood, where failure often attracts more applause than success, survival is the true success. The episode ends with gifts, food, and laughter—but beneath the surface is a poignant lesson: In an industry that watches you more closely when you fall, Farah Khan's fearless honesty is her real comeback. Catch the full vlog now streaming on Farah Khan's YouTube channel. For anyone who's ever been celebrated for failing, this one hits home. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 17:12 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
