Dor, Khosla Ka Ghosla open well
|
|
Nagesh Kukunoor's Dor opened to good reviews, with audiences appearing to lap it up. Khosla Ka Ghosla, another relatively small film, also opened to good reviews and a decent opening. Expectedly, Rocky, a run-of-the-mill action movie, flopped in its opening weekend.
