Josh
brings josh
to slumbering trade
There is a new euphoria in the film market. After Kaho Naa... Pyar Hai,
there has been no super hit film, and the film industry has been hoping
against hope for a hit. First, it came in the form of Tips’ Kya Kehna
last month. It has done very good business 
everywhere.
Now comes Venus’s Josh, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Chandrachur
Singh, Priya Gill and Sharad Kapoor. It showed 100 per cent collections
for four days everywhere. The distributors, at last, have something to
rave about, and they are thrilled to bits by the collections. Even Joru
Ka Ghulam which opened last Friday, showed 100 per cent collections in
Mumbai and other places.
