Cold Box Office waits for Diwali!
|
Morning Raga was not expected to do well beyond the metros and their multiplexes, but even here it is opening to empty seats.
The film, starring Shabana Azmi and Perizaad Zorabian, sank in a fleeting appearance without making any impact at the box office. However, the performances have been generously appreciated.
Pankuj Parashar's thriller Inteqam opened to loads of hype as the veteran director called it among his best works to date. Audiences, though, totally rejected his offering, which was sensationalised in the pre-publicity and promos because of Nethra Raghuraman's skin-show.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates.
