Sushmita's Zindaggi sinks |
|
|
Pre-Diwali is considered as a dull period at box office and, traditionally, new releases are avoided.
But with the arrival of biggies like Don and Jaan-e-Mann this Diwali, as many as seven releases flocked to the theatres. All the films -- Zindaggi Rocks, Mera Dil Deke Dekho, Iqraar By Chance, Gaffla, Bhoot Unkle, Jaana, Let's Fall in Love and Hota Hai Dil Pyaar Mein Pagaal -- opened to disastrous results.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. | |
