Ajay Devgan on top again! |
|
|
Ajay Devgan has been going from strength to strength as an actor.
He has won great appreciation for his performance in three of his four releases this year, Bhoot and Qayamat included. His latest, Prakash Jha's Gangaajal, occupies second position at the BO this week. But the week's other release, Kalpana Lajmi's Kyon?, floundered. The week, though, still belongs to Rakesh Roshan's Koi... Mil Gaya, which continues to occupy top spot at the BO. 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.  |
