But both films failed to cross Rs 50 crores mark in the country.

However, two much-hyped movies like Murder 3 and Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story have hit the screens today (February 15). Trade experts feel that they will send down the business of Special 26 and ABCD - Any Body Can Dance. It should be seen whether they will be able to face the competition or not.
