- Bell Bottom
- Bachchhan Paandey
- Samrat Prithviraj
- Raksha Bandhan
- Cuttputlli
- Ram Setu
- An Action Hero
- Selfiee
- Mission Raniganj
- Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

Akshay is completely self-aware about his films not performing well and he takes complete responsibility for the same. "If my films are not working, it is our fault, it is my fault. I have to make the changes; I have to understand what the audience wants. I want to dismantle my way of working and think about what kind of films I should be doing," he had recently said. Nobody else is to be blamed but me."
Is overdose of Akshay another reason for this string of flops? Should he take a break just like Shah Rukh Khan did after Jab Harry Met Sejal, Fan, Ra.One, Raaes and Zero, and make a roaring comeback (with films like Pathaan and Jawan)? Even Aamir Khan has taken a break from acting after Laal Singh Chaddha turned out to be a box office dud. What do you think Akshay is doing wrong? Let us know in the comments section below.
