Vikram Bhatt’s latest horror venture “Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past” just had one of the WORST opening weeks in recent Bollywood history — collecting a dismal Rs 1 crore gross (Rs 1.3 crore net) in 6 days at the Indian box office!
For context, that’s less than what most Bollywood films earn in their FIRST SHOW. The 3D horror drama, which was expected to revive the franchise’s magic, has instead become a cautionary tale about nostalgia-driven sequels nobody asked for.
