Rock On rocks at the box office |
|
|
Farhan Akhtar's acting debut, Rock on!! rocked at multiplexes, and has been hugely appreciated by the youth.
The other releases -- Chamku and C Kkompany -- are below par. In fact, Chamku's screenings have been discontinued at many theatres. Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives the box office verdict.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views.
