'The of Panama' has no takers

The saga of the Indian release of the Pierc Brosnan-Jamy Curtis starrer 'The Tailor of Panama' finally came to an end with the movie being withdrawn from theatres after a less-than-lukewarm reception from Indian audiences. The movie was released in India six years after its world-wide premiere and this was one of the reasons for the poor opening.
Distributors in the country released the movie after deleting the word 'tailor' in the title fearing a backlash similar to the 'Billu' episode. Analysts feel this may have affected the box office collections as the new title 'The of Panama' was a little too ambiguous for the average Indian movie-goer.
