Lakshya hits the jackpot at the BO!
|
Farhan Akhtar’s second film Lakshya, featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta, made an impressive opening.
Like his debut film Dil Chahta Hai, Lakshya is doing exceedingly well in cities.
Whether the film will continue to maintain its hold at the box office remains to be seen.
The other release of the week Raghu Romeo opened to rave reviews but low collections.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates.
