Box Office: Ishaqzaade does well, Dangerous Ishhq flops

Last Friday's release Ishaqzaade got a good opening at the box office and collections have improved over the weekend. While the critics found the film's second half slightly weak, the audiences clearly have no complaints.

Meanwhile, Karisma Kapoor's comeback vehicle Dangerous Ishhq had a poor opening.
