Ajay Devgan scores again! |
|
|
Ajay Devgan woos the box office with another release this week. His lucky streak at the turnstiles seems to have rubbed off on debutant director Rohit Shetty's Zameen and on Abhishek Bachchan; this could be the latter's first film to fare well at the box office.
The other two releases this week -- the late Anant Balani's Mumbai Matinee and N Chandra's Xcuse Me -- did not enjoy the same popularity as Zameen. 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.  |
