This Friday was dominated by the leading ladies of Bollywood. Not one or two, but three films that were released on Friday were dominated by a total of four actresses. Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Mili’, Huma Qureshi and Sonakshi-starrer ‘Double XL’ and Katrina Kaif’s ‘Phone Bhoot’, clashed at the box office on Friday. The films did not only compete with one another but also with Rishabh Shetty’s successfully running film, ‘Kantara’, and Akshay Kumar’s ‘Ram Setu’. So, how did the films perform? Take a look here:
Mili: Janhvi Kapoor's film was given very good reviews by the critics, seeing that it was hoped that the film would do very well on the first day. However, that didn’t happen.
