Gandhi cannot rake in the Cash |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Anil Kapoor's home production, Gandhi My Father was
appreciated by the media and the few who watched it. But it could not generate enough audience and suffers empty cinema halls.
Anubhav Sinha's Cash is style without substance, and farely poorly. Naya Daur, which was re-released in colour, failed to draw in an audience and proved to be a disastrous experiment. Trade pundit Vinod Mirani tells us the fate of these films.
