Shootout beats Sugar |
|
|
Apoorva Lakhia's starstudded Shootout At Lokhandwala is doing very well in the Mumbai circuit, and fair at other centres.
Cheeni Kum is a multiplex fim to which the multiplex audience does not seem to have taken fancy. While the film's performance just about passes muster in Mumbai, elsewhere it is a no go.
