Salaam-e-Ishq may be the first big flop |
|
|
After Guru, Salaam-e-Ishq was one of 2007's biggest releases, and the film obviously raised a lot of expectations.
But Despite its massive star cast and media hype, Salaam-e-Ishq may be the first major disaster of the year. The other release Parzania is critically-acclaimed but whether that will be translated to box office collections needs to be seen.
