Another link in the Bollywood flop chain

Bollywood's tryst with bad luck continues.

Despite the presence of stars like Sanjay Dutt and Govinda, David Dhawan's Ek Aur Ek Gyarah failed to stir the box-office.

And Friday's fare Yeh Dil, starring Tusshar Kapoor and Anita, was never expected to alter the film industry's future.

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 other films that week.
