No Sankat at the box office this week! |
|
| Last week saw three releases of which Short Kut: The Con Is On and Morning Walk were non-starters. Sankat City had a weak opening but did better over the weekend, thanks to good word of mouth. It's done the best business out of the three releases.
Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office report.
