Kaal enjoys box-office dhamaal!
|
Karan Johar sure knows what he's doing.
His latest production Kaal opened almost universally to bad reviews, but that hasn't stopped the film from making a killing at the box office, thanks to Johar cleverly flooding the market with prints.
You might hate the film, but Karan and his co-producer, Shah Rukh Khan, are going to laugh all the way to the bank.
