Sholay: Top of the charts all over again! |
|
|
Surprisingly, the Aishwarya Rai-Vivek Oberoi-Amitabh Bachchan starrer Kyun! Ho Gaya Na... got a poor response at the box office this week.
In fact, Bachchan's earlier film -- the Ramesh Sippy classic Sholay -- which was re-released in Mumbai last week, enjoyed a much better opening.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. |
