Few takers for Wake Up Sid, Do Knot Disturb

Last updated on: October 05, 2009 10:40 IST

Two films hit the marquee last week -- Wake Up Sid and Do Knot Disturb.

Both the films didn't do so well. Collections for Do Knot Disturb started dropping from Saturday onwards, making it an 'also ran', while the collections for Wake Up Sid were not up to the mark barring select multiplexes.
