Bollywood box office at abyss: Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha tanks, Akshay Kumar delivers 3rd dud

After disaster struck the two Independence Day long weekend releases -- Aamir Khan's long-awaited, mega-hyped 'Laal Singh Chaddha' and the Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Raksha Bandhan' -- a wag commented that Bollywood has become like the Congress: it has only its past to live on and stares at a dim future, unless a miracle happens. For Aamir, 'Laal Singh Chaddha' has been his worst commercially since his 2000 film 'Mela', despite getting a five-day holiday weekend, starting with Raksha Bandhan on August 11 and ending with Independence Day. And it has been his second successive flop after the 'Thugs of Hindostan', which bombed despite the additional presence of Amitabh Bachchan.
