The two Friday releases, Zanjeer and Shuddh Desi Romance were made on a budget of Rs 70 crore and rs 30 crore respectively.
Zanjeer opened to poor reviews while Shuddh Desi Romance got mixed reviews.
The Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta said the remake of Zanjeer forces you to ask many whys. While she was appreciative of Shuddh Desi Romance.
So, clearly Shuddh Desi Romance is doing better than Zanjeer.
