Even Sunny's biceps cannot save Jaal |
|
|
Sunny Deol may be one of the most expensive actors in the film industry. But that hardly means he is a bankable star. His much-delayed Jaal, which released last week, sank at the box office.
The other release of the week, Bhagyashree's comeback film Maa Santoshi Maa, did not even create a ripple. Note: Films are ranked on the basis of their performance at the box office every week. Though a film may be declared a flop, it may have performed better than the other films that week.  |
