What was movie's budget? It must surely have been less than 25 crore, so how can it be flop?
I checked out wikipedia page of the movie for movie's budget and guess what I read - "The movie was supposed to be released on February 13, 2009, but A. R. Rahman's continued absence from the project led to a delay in the film getting released. The movie's back ground score remained incomplete and hence a delay in release by one week." what rubbish.. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Vithur <vith...@...> wrote: > > DELHI 6 all set to join '30 Crore Flop Club' > ------------------------------ > February 28, 2009 6:29:19 PM IST > Joginder Tuteja, Bollywood Trade News Network > [image: Send to > Friend]<http://www.glamsham.com/sendlink.asp?page=http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/09/feb/28-delhi-6-all-set-to-join-30-crore-flop-club-020909.asp&title=DELHI > 6 all set to join '30 Crore Flop Club'> > > <http://www.glamsham.com/movies/stills/1032/1/delhi-6-movie-stills.htm> > > *view DELHI 6 movie > stills<http://www.glamsham.com/movies/stills/1032/1/delhi-6-movie-stills.htm> > * > > DELHI 6 has flopped. > > After an ordinary opening weekend, the film continued to see a steady fall > during the remainder of the week.
