Julie conquers the BO! |
|
|
This Friday saw sex and violence clash at the box office.
The much hyped Julie, starring Neha Dhupia, about a high-society call girl, predictably opened to smashing collections of 95 to 100 per cent. The response for Rajiv Rai's action drama, Asambhav, however, was far from impressive.
