Though Akshay raised to be Bollywood King with his bollywood hits in 2007 2008, off late he has been disappointing the movie goers with B-graders. His recent stint CC2C (Chandini Chowk to China) was a big disappointment. His latest flick 8X10 is a suspense thriller. Nagesh Kukunoor gives this flick a super Hollywood feel and [...]
