Dil Dosti, Johnny Gaddaar open poorly |
|
|
Sriram Raghavan's Johnny Gadddar -- a lift from the 1973 Harmesh Malhotra film, Gaddar, starring Vinod Khanna and Pran -- follows the footsteps of its source and fails to move the box office.
Prakash Jha's production, Dil Dosti Etc, is a 1960ish Delhi campus story with little appeal today, and meets with a poor fate as well.
