Jhoom Barabar Jhoom opens poorly |
|
|
Yash Raj Films seems to have got it all wrong this year. Their second 2007 release, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, saw a similar fate like their Ta Ra Rum Pum earlier this year.
In fact, this year has yet to see a single major blockbuster.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views. | |
