Has Ash lost her box office appeal? |
|
|
Aishwarya Rai's new film Bride And Prejudice opened well in UK. But the Indian box office may have a different story to tell.
Its Hindi version Balle Balle! Amritsar to LA may share the same fate. Of course, whether the two versions will pick up later remains to be seen.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. |
