Khwahish: Not hot enough
Even as Bhoot continued its profitable run at the box office, new releases Khwahish and Nayee Padosan did not open well.
Despite its much-talked about steamy kissing scenes -- and leading lady Mallika Sherawat's immense popularity -- Khwahish had a relatively disappointing opening. The other release, Nayee Padosan, was a disaster from start to finish.

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.






Bhoot

Cast: Ajay Devgan, Urmila Matondkar, Nana Patekar, Fardeen Khan, Rekha, Victor Banerjee
Director: Ram Gopal Varma
A well-directed, tight film. Urmila's superb performance.

A disappointing climax.
