Boom's busted!
|
Made for a cost of Rs 18 crore (approximately US $3.93 million), Boom turned out to be a super blooper at the box office.
The film opened decently enough, but from the first day on, collections began to plummet. Evidently, even Amitabh Bachchan and sexy models Madhu Sapre, Padma Lakshmi and Katrina Kaif could not salvage Kaizad Gustad's convoluted movie.
Note: Films are ranked on the basis of their performance at the box office every week. Though a film may be declared a flop, it may have performed better than the other films that week.
