Jaane Tu is a big hit |
|||||||||||||||
|
Aamir Khan Productions' Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na is on its way to becoming a major hit. The youthful film has a lot of repeat value, and its ring tones will rule for some time to come.
On the other hand, Harry Baweja's Love Story 2050 took a weak opening, and has not found much appreciation among critics and audiences alike. Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office verdict.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views.
