With
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
being
the
flavour
of
the
season
and
brickbats
still
coming
in
for
a
debacle
called
Raavan,
the
newer
releases
were
royally
ignored.
Films
like
Krantiveer
–
The
Revolution
and
Mr.
Singh
Mrs.
Mehta
were
never
expected
to
change
the
face
of
Indian
cinema.
But
the
least
that
the
makers
would
have
expected
was
to
have
a
face-saving
release,
if
not
an
opening.
However,
this
was
not
the
case.
Fate
of
these
films
was
sealed
right
from
the
opening
show.
Critics
didn"t
bother
to
review
these
films;
actors
were
hardly
seen
interacting
with
media;
newspapers
and
publications
showed
no
interest
in
flashing
anything
related
to
the
film;
no
audience
entering
the
theaters;
and
worst,
trade
in
general
didn"t
even
care
about
reporting
how
the
films
had
performed
at
the
box
office.
Films
like
Raavan
or
Kites
are
at
least
written
about
and
then
(mainly)
ridiculed
for
whatever
their
worth
(or
the
lack
of
it)
was.
Still,
they
are
talked
about
at
least.
But
films
like
Krantiveer
–
The
Revolution
and
Mr.
Singh
Mrs.
Mehta
are
not
even
being
mourned
despite
a
disastrous
response
at
the
box
office.
It
indeed
reflects
the
sad
state
of
affairs.
With
collections
hovering
in
the
range
of
a
few
lakhs
and
(expectedly)
no
show
in
the
second
week,
Krantiveer
–
The
Revolution
and
Mr.
Singh
Mrs.
Mehta
would
be
soon
out
on
home
video.
Well,
neither
the
sequel
factor
for
the
former
nor
the
nude
controversy
in
the
latter
could
save
the
two
films
from
such
debacle.
