Only Mumbai, Delhi root for Bunty Aur Babli |
|
|
Even as Bunty Aur Babli opened spectacularly in Mumbai and Delhi, the film isn't exactly performing well in the interiors.
Meanwhile, as could be predicted, none of this week's releases have managed to salvage any pride, save a few rave reviews for Randeep Hooda's performance in D. All eyes are on the coming weeks, which will see some really big releases, including Bachke Rehna Re Baba, Paheli, and Sarkar.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. |
