Dull opening for Yuva!
|
Mani Ratnam's Yuva met with mixed reviews. Ditto for the response it got at the box office.
Predictably, the film took a decent opening in metros. But it fell short of making an impact in the interiors of India.
Uff Kya Jaadoo Mohabbat Hai..!, a mushy love story from the Rajshri Productions stable, was a no-go at the BO.
