On the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, Mohammad Iqbal's film “Revenge” hit 15 theatres with Ziaul Roshan and Shobnom Bubly in the lead roles. Despite the initial buzz, the film has struggled to attract audiences in both single-screen theatres and multiplexes. In a disappointing turn of events, “Revenge” was pulled from Star Cineplex just five days after its release due to poor performance.
