Hasn't history taught them anything?
Atleast good for Ajay.He stood his ground and both movies didn't do all that great business.π
Ekta is not as good at business as she thinks she is. π Ok, she moved because SRK begged her or whatever, but postponing by a week is not that smart..especially if its two big films releasing back to back... The only thing she was then banking on was CE failing miserably because the one that releases first has the advantage...as for the "word"...please, I am not even a business major but even I know that it's stupid to expect others to be "fair" and let you eat into their profits... I doubt that she would have given up her screens on Independence day if the situation was reversed & OUATIMD was doing as well as CE did...business folks wanna increase their profits by hook or crook...are they always fair about it? Nope...should they be? in an ideal world...but we don't live in a utopia.
Haha yes atleast Ajay stood his ground. π
