Hrithik-Kareena leave BO cold
Sooraj Barjatya's love saga, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, starring Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan, opened to a tame opening at the box office. Collections of the film started falling from Monday, June 30. The film though is having a good run in the US -- it is the 16th highest grossing film in North America.
Kushan Nandy's directorial debut 88 Antop Hill, with Atul Kulkarni and Rahul Dev, turned out to be a non-starter from the word go.
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.
