Don beats Jaan-E-Mann at the box office |
|
|
With two major big starcast films, Don and Jaan-e-Mann, releasing and Diwali and Eid festivals coinciding, one expected fireworks at box office. But no such thing happened. While Don managed a better opening response, its reports are far from satifactory.
Jaan-e-Mann, despite two popular heroes, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar, and good music, had a below average opening. The final picture of the fate of both will, however, be clear only at the end of this festive week.
