Chocolate, James sink at the box office |
|
|
Ram Gopal Varma's James didn't win at the box office like the producer hoped it would. In fact, RGV's blue-eyed boy Mohit Ahlawat found few takers in theatres.
The other releases -- Chocolate, Kal and Sau Jhooth Ek Sach -- also failed to impress audiences.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. |
