Taxi fails to rev up the box office |
|
|
Milan Luthria's Taxi No 9 2 11 -- starring Nana Patekar and John Abraham -- seemed promising, but could not muster a decent opening.
Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai, with which producer Bunty Soorma aspired to launch his career as director but was completed by Vikram Bhatt after Soorma's untimely demise, had a disastrous opening with shows having to be cancelled at some theatres due to the lack of viewers. Salim Akhtar's Sun Zarra was a washout.
