Action continues to rule the roost

Last week's releases --- Maseeha and Guru Mahaguru --- did not create too many ripples at the box-office. In fact, the collections of the latter were so dismal that it does not even feature in this week's top ten films. Parto Ghosh's Maseeha made its entry at fourth spot.

Govinda-Rani Mukherjee starrer Chalo Ishq Ladaye, which was also supposed to release on December 13, was held back. Apparently, the prints for the film had not arrived at the theatres on time.

Once again, this week, we have Harry Baweja's Karz: The Burden Of Truth at top spot with Sunny Deol and Suniel Shetty flexing their muscles in this action flick.
