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.
