Muscle power conquers BO
After ruling the roost for six weeks, Deewangee has finally been toppled by Sunny Deol-Suniel Shetty's muscle power in Karz -- The Burden Of Truth.
Though the critics ripped the film apart, it opened to a good start, partly due to the Eid holiday. Sunny Deol is still the distributors' safest bet as far as mindless action flicks are concerned.
Unfortunately, the other release, Rishtey had to take a back seat. This Anil Kapoor-Karisma Kapoor emotional drama failed to hold the audiences' interest. Interestingly, Kaante, which was to release this Friday, was held back yet again.
