Box Office: Fugly gets a poor opening
Here's looking at the hits and flops of the week.
Last week's release Fugly opened poorly at the box office, thanks to the lack of story and treatment. Co-produced by Akshay Kumar, the film saw a poor weekend even though it was heavily promoted.
The week's other releases -- Chal Bhaag, Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai and Unforgettable -- were disasters.
