Urmila slips at the BO |
|
|
Ram Gopal Varma's production Ek Hasina Thi hit the marquee last week. Though the film had a novel subject and great performances, it did not set the box-office on fire.
Bharat Dabholkar's comic flick God Only Knows was barely promoted and failed to make a mark. 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.  |
