Last week's release One By Two -- starring Abhay Deol and girlfriend Preeti Desai -- has been rejected by the moviegoers. The film had a poor weekend and has failed to draw audiences to the theatres.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan has failed to charm the audience with Jai Ho. The film is Salman's first flop since his 2010 release, Veer.
