| With the two week old `Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya` and last week’s `Paan Singh Tomar` still doing well, the new releases, `Kahaani` and `Chaar Din Ki Chandni`, were not expected to embark on a big start. All the same, the dull opening of the two ventures was rather disappointing. Thankfully, the Vidya Balan starrer `Kahaani` saw a big pick up on Saturday while `Chaar Din Ki Chandni` hardly saw any growth. |
