Last Friday, Mehbooba hit the theatres. The movie was shot years back and had to face many obstacles to get a theatrical release. When it finally release, very few turned up to watch it and thus, the movie was declared a flop. Like Mehbooba, there are many films which are made years back but […]

Also to his credit lies […]
