Despite bad reviews, Vivah's a hit |
|
|
Terrible reviews are certainly not stopping audiences from flocking to theatres to watch Sooraj Barjatya's Vivah. The film is already a hit in places like Bihar, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. It is also doing steady business in multiplexes in Mumbai and Delhi.
Subhash Ghai's production Apna Sapna Money Money is doing decent business, where as Deadline is a washout.
