No hattrick for Vidya Balan, Ghanchakkar fails at box office

Bollywood's Dirty actress Vidya Balan, who had delivered back-to-back hits last year, failed to score a hattrick. Her latest debut comedy film Ghanchakkar did below average business at the box office in the first weekend.
Vidya was paired opposite her The Dirty Picture actor Emraan Hashmi but their magic did not work for director Rajkumar Gupta of No One Killed Jessica fame.

The film managed to collect a little above Rs. 20 crore in its opening weekend.

Ghanchakkar had opened to poor reviews and Indian Express' critic Shubhra Gupta had also said in her review that the movie "could have been edgier and funnier."

Ghanchakkar also faced stiff competion from Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor's Raanjhanaa, which collected Rs 10.70 crore nett in its second weekend.
