    Dialogue of the week. A gem from Knock Out: Jo bhi karna apne dil se karna kyunki dil waise left main hota hai lekin hamesha right hota hai.

  5. A movie will never be totally banned on this basis especially if the Plaintiff Studio(Fox) has to work in the same market.

    In the end is inter-community(Film Trade) thing and in business one cant have hard lines.

    But yes they have made sure it doesnt happen in future with them atleast and got some money out of it also.
