Dil Maange More sinks
|
The final Bollywood release of 2004, director Anant Mahadevan's Dil Maange More, has failed to excite the turnstiles.
To make things worse, the Delhi high court has restrained the film from licensing its international distribution/overseas release and video rights.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates.
