Action rules! |
|
| The last weekend of the World Cup was disastrous for films as people refused to budge from their television sets.
This week's two releases -- Sangeeth Sivan's Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne and Ashok Honda's Om -- had a few similarities: both starred debutant heroes Zayed Khan and Attin Bhalla. Both were actioners. And both failed to lift Bollywood's sagging spirits. 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.  |
