Happy Humshakals: Forget the Reviews, It's Time to Party

The cast and crew of Humshakals, encouraged by the warm welcome their film has received at the box office, celebrated the success of their movie in Mumbai on June 24. In this picture, actors Ram Kapoor, Esha Gupta, Riteish Deshmukh and director Sajid Khan pose with producers Vashu Bhagnani and Fox Star Studios CEO Vijay Singh. As the poster behind the group proclaims, the film has fetched over Rs 75 crores - the amount that was spent on making it - in four days. Co-stars Saif Ali Khan and Tamannaah Bhatia seemed to have missed the celebration while Bipasha Basu, as expected, was absent.
