Audience laps up Love Aaj Kal
August 03, 2009 19:34 IST

Saif Ali Khan can relax a little because it looks like his first production Love Aaj Kal [Images] has gone down quite well with the audience. The movie had a sustained collection over the weekend, especially in the Metros. However, its high cost will make recovery tough.

Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office report.
