The box office bloodbath began early in the year. Barring Mani Ratnam's "Guru", an epic drama loosely based on the life of Dhirubhai Ambani, and the breezy "Namaste London", an East-meets-West love story, no big Hindi film found takers in the first quarter of 2007.Mumbai, In 2007, Bollywood's fortunes swung like a wild pendulum. The industry was buffeted by a slew of potential blockbusters that fell way short of trade expectations.
The under-performance of big-ticket films like "Tara Rum Pum", "Jhoom Barabar Jhoom", "Eklavya", "Nishabd", "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag" and "Saawariya" could have left the dream factory in the doldrums. It didn't. Two men - Shah Rukh Khan (riding the crest of an unstoppable wave) and Akshay Kumar (with a hattrick of hits) -- came to Mumbai moviedom's rescue.
