| Yash Raj Film’s Maneesh Sharma directed `Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl` was never expected to embark on an earth shattering start, though a good to decent opening was very much on the cards. But the start is lower than the predictions. The film is doing better in the North and Gujarat, but is below par in Mumbai. The other release of the week, Maqbool Khan’s `Lanka` failed to make an impression, except for a handful of cinemas in Uttar Pradesh. |
