Why Sanju is no match for Shah Rukh
|
Sanjay Dutt's umpteenth don role in Munnabhai MBBS provided much laughter but could not save itself.
The other release of the week, Fun2shh, also failed despite its aggressive promotion.
Note: Films are ranked on the basis of their performance at the box office every week. Though a film may be declared a flop, it may have performed better than the other films that week.
