Ektaa Kapoor flops at the box office |
|
|
Balaji Telefilms might have struck gold with Kya Kool Hai Hum earlier this year, but their latest, a soap opera style weep-fest, had a very poor opening.
The film, Koi Aap Sa, starring Aftab Shivdasani, Dipannita Sharma and Natassha, drew flak for its conceptual similarity to Kundan Shah's Kya Kehna. The other release of the week was the 'independent' film, Missed Call. As expected, it wasn't the kind of film to generate long ticket queues, but critics too dismissed the effort.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. |
