/> Believe it or not but in his only release of the year so far, Saif Ali Khan has delivered a box office disaster. Incidentally this is his fourth box office failure in a row over last 12 months, what with ROADSIDE ROMEO (where he did the voiceover), THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC and TASHAN being mighty flops in themselves.

Ok, so let's reveal the suspense. This film in question is SANAM TERI KASAM, an age old project featuring Saif Ali Khan in lead along with Saif Ali Khan, which was revived a few days back and has expectedly went completely unnoticed. In fact majority of cast and crew members of the film were not even aware that SANAM TERI KASAM, which was earlier known as YEH PYAAR HI TO HAI, had even released on 22nd May 2009 at a mere 15 cinemas.

Collections have been downright pathetic for this stuck-in-the-cans film with a mere 4 lakhs coming from these 15 cinemas. In fact the film's release was akin to some of the old films like YEH LAMHE JUDAAI KE (starring Shah Rukh Khan), MUJHE MERI BIWI SE BACHAO (Akshay Kumar) and YAAR MERI ZINDAGI (Amitabh Bachchan) amongst many others which released decades after being made, arrived without fanfare and went back into cold storage without even completing a single weekend at the box office.

An ULTRA film directed by Lawerence D'Souza (of SAAJAN fame), SANAM TERI KASAM was ready since the mid-90s.

Incidentally, when the promos of the film were first released, two of its tracks had turned out to be big hits too. Tuned by Nadeem Shravan who had returned with Lawerence D'Souza once again after SAAJAN, these songs were 'Ye Pyaar Hi To Hai' and 'Ek Baar Ek Baar Pyaar Se To Bol'.

Finally, after a wait of a decade and a half, SANAM TERI KASAM managed to make it to theaters courtesy the producers' strike due to which theaters were willing to screen any and every movie that was made available to them.

With SANAM TERI KASAM not finding any takers in spite of Saif Ali Khan's name being associated with the project, it won't be hard to presume that producers as well as multiplexes would keep themselves miles away from reviving such dated films in future.
