Race is a big hit

Last week's releases, One Two Three and Love Songs: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow fared poorly at the box office. While One Two Three had a poor opening thanks to its vulgar content, Love Songs was a washout.

Meanwhile, Race has become a hit.

Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views.
