Black: Rave reviews, poor collections |
|
|
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black opened to great reviews, and a chunk of the audience loved the film. But the movie has had a dismal start at the box-office. In the metros, the film has had only 50 percent collections.
The other release of the week -- the Sanjay Dutt-Aishwarya Rai starrer Shabd, fared even worse than Black. Looks like Ash's bad patch at the BO is far from over.
