Aan kicks its way to the top
Action still kicks butt -- that's what Aan seems to have proved.
Despite bad reviews, Madhur Bhandarkar's cop flick Aan: Men At Work had a decent opening at the box office.

With Govind Nihalani's Dev, another police drama, hitting the marquee this week (June 11), it remains to be seen if Aan will continue to hold its own at the BO.
