All three comedy films are proving to be disasters
All three comedy films are turning out to be box office disasters. It seems tough for them to even make back half their cost. 'Happy Patel', 'Rahu Ketu', and 'One Two Cha Cha Cha' had budgets of ₹25-40 crore, ₹20-25 crore, and ₹7-8 crore, respectively.
