Bipasha-John are not the kings of Bollywood dobara! |
|
|
We saw as many as four releases last week: Madhoshi, Tumsa Nahin Dekha, Dobara and King Of Bollywood.
None of them recorded good box office collections, and were washouts from the start. Even Bipasha Basu and John Abraham's hit jodi could not attract crowds in Madhoshi. King Of Bollywood, which had only about five percent gross, is being pulled out of theatres.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. |
