Heyy Babyy shines in multiplexes |
|
|
Sajid Khan's directorial debut Heyy Babyy is holding its own at multiplexes. With the Raksha Bandhan holiday coming up on August 28, the film is an earner at the box office.
Kaisey Kahein was lying in the cans for a long time with no takers, and was finally released at a few theatres. It opened to a poor response. Trade pundit Vinod Mirani tells us the fate of these films.
