High hopes for Bewafaa |
|
|
Bewafaa's box-office opening seemed to be a good wedding present for director Dharmesh Darshan.
Though the film opened well, it was not the kind of bumper opening the makers of the film were hoping for. The other releases of the week – Shobhayatra, Fun Can Be Dangerous Sometimes and Sins – have expectedly flopped.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. |
