Jaago: Dead at the BO
|
|
Based on a true incident, Mehul Kumar's Jaago failed to evoke any reaction from the audience.
The Raveena Tandon-Manoj Bajpai starrer opened to a measly 30 per cent collection.
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 the other films that week.
