All of today’s releases open to horifyingly poor houses.Colections in 100s of rupees,not even 1000s,at many cinemas.Shows cancelled at some.

Lovely gaane,excellent Rani..but a weak backbone (script) make AIYYAA a boring film..Opening dull.. Read my review at http://komalsreviews.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/aiyyaa-review/ …

In spite of Navratri,Durga pooja,SOTY day 1 is aprox.9.25 crore(this is not final figure).FANTASTIC for a film with no establishd lead star!
Dull, dry, drab and devoid of entertainment… That’s CHAKRAVYUH. Read my review at http://komalsreviews.wordpress.com/2012/10/26/chakravyuh-review/ …
