Metro, GBBB open poorly |
|
|
The lean period at the box office continues as last week's releases -- Life In A... Metro and Good Boy Bad Boy -- did not click.
Metro was a superficial film with few gags and nothing else. Good Boy Bad Boy was a loser from day one. Trade pundit Vinod Mirani delivers his verdict on the box-office fate of the films.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views. | |
