| As was quite predicatable Kunal Deshmukh`s Emraan Hashmi, Randeep Hooda and Pooja Gupta starrer, `Jannat 2`, has embarked on a superb start almost everywhere, barring the southern circuits. The opening is the third best of the year after `Agneepath` and `Housefull 2`. From here on `Jannat 2` is sure to be a clean hit, how big or small only time will tell! |
