    How do the masses lap up these movies and so they become big hits?!
    Golmaal Returns is no masterpiece. The cinefans are up in arms against such litter thrown their way. The producer of “Aaj ki Taaza Khabar” suddenly realises that this movie is a LaserJet copy of his 1973 epic! Last heard, she was consulting lawyers. Arshad Warsi has publicly expressed his anger at his length of role. Rohit Shetty is happy for all the publicity....
