Some of our most iconic romantic jodis have found their eternal status because of the intense on screen chemistry shared between the hero and the heroine. We can’t help but remember some of the Bollywood jodis from recent past that seemed too unlikely to strike a chord in anyone’s heart. After all, not every unusual pairing like Dhanush-Sonam Kapoor translates into a fun camaraderie between a film’s lead actors.

Sanjay Dutt and Prachi Desai
Movie: Policegiri (2013)
Verdict: Sanjay and Prachi looked anything but an onscreen couple. She came across as youthful and bubbly whereas he appeared almost uncle-like with his tired eyes and unhealthy paunch. On top of that, they were dancing to songs that couldn’t have been more badly choreographed in this cop caper directed by KS Ravikumar. PS: On the contrary, the years separating Naseeruddin Shah from Vidya Balan (The Dirty Picture, Ishqiya) couldn’t get in the way of their fabulous performances.
