This Day That Year Box Office : When Phata Poster Nikhla Hero, Shakti, Lunchbox and Welcome To Sajjanpur Were Released On 20th September

A Hollywood remake of Jim Carry starrer Liar Liar, Kyunki..Main Jhuth Nahi Bolta suffered from poor direction and over the top acting. The movie did not open well thanks to clash with Ajnabee and was a “Flop” at the box office, collecting Rs 7.95 crore at a budget of Rs 8.50 crore.

Paanch (2003)

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, Paanch was officially the first film of the ace director before Black Friday.

Manorama Six Feet Under (2007)

Probably one of the most under-rated film of 2007, Manorama Six Feet Under was a fantastic who-done-it thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Admiring direction, beautiful screenplay, solid performances by the star cast will help to enjoy the film. However, due to low-key promotion, Manorama Six Feet Under flopped at the box office but gained a cult status later.

Heroine (2012)

Heroine was already in news even before its release. The controversy surrounding the film regarding the replacement of Aishwarya Rai with Kareena Kapoor created quite a stir. Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, Heroine took a very good opening at the box office. Due to bad reviews, the film dropped heavily in its first week only and could not sustain later at the box office and did an average business with Rs 33.82 crore against a budget of Rs 35 crore.
