Box-office turns Kool! |
|
|
Critics be darned, say the audiences.
After Kaal, the Tusshar Kapoor-Ritesh Deshmukh starrer Kya Kool Hai Hum was universally panned by critics, but the audiences loved it. The film had a solid opening and is well on the way to becoming a hit. Not that bad reviews ensure a movie's success. Just ask Ajay Devgan, whose Main Aisa Hi Hoon is another washout -- both critically as well as at the box-office.
