SRK scores over Salman |
|
|
The people have spoken and how.
Farah Khan's tribute to the 1970s cinema, Om Shanti Om, is an entertainer that's on its way to becoming a big hit. However, the other big release did not do too well over the weekend. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's fairy tale-like love story, Saawariya failed to connect with the audience, and is set to be a major flop.
