Manisha scores at the BO |
|
| Last Friday saw another wave of flops.
Based on a real life story, Escape From Taliban, starring Manisha Koirala, could not turn the tide. Kash...Aap Hamare Hote saw the debut of Juhi Babar and Sonu Nigam. Sadly, the film did not do much for either. Bas Yuhi, a small-budget Nandita Das starrer, and the long-delayed Love At Times Square also crashed at the BO. 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.  |
