Dostana gets lucky


John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan's gay act in Dostana turned out to be a hit with audiences as the film witnessed an excellent opening at multiplexes and single screens across major cities in the country. The film is expected to sustain its good opening through the week.

The other two releases Dasvidaniya and Deshdrohi didn't do well.

Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives the box office verdict.
