It's raining flops at the box office |
|
|
People loved Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi in Munnabhai MBBS, but stayed away from their new film together, Anthony Kaun Hai.
The other releases of the week, Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar and Darwaza Bandh Rakho, also sank at the box office. On the other hand, Omkara, which got some of the best reviews this year, seems to be picking up in Mumbai. In fact, Ajay Devgan seems to be the flavour of the season. Not only did people like his serious role in Omkara, his comedy film Golmaal, is emerging as a hit in Mumbai.
