Jaane Tu is a superhit |
|||||||||||
|
This week's release, Mehbooba, saw a poor fate at the box office. The film, which took 10 years in the making, opened badly at the box office.
On the other hand, Aamir Khan's Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na is the year's first superhit. 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.
