No dhamaal at the box office this week |
|
|
Last week saw movies of different genres at the box office.
Ram Gopal Varma's bad luck at the box office continued, as his new film Darling opened poorly. Indra Kumar's Dhamaal is an average entertainer. Kaushik Roy's Apna Asmaan goes overboard with imagination to tell a cock and bull story. Shows at many cinemas cancelled due to lack of audience.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views. | |
