However what is sad thatwe still have a long way to go as far as quality is concerned.''RaniMukerji is elated that her No one Killed Jessica is one of the earliest hits ofthe year.Says the firebrand diva, ``NOKJ broke the January jinx andit also proved that good content will always find takers.''VidyaBalan who shared Rani's success is also excited that she started the year with abang.The Deols who gave a hit in Yamla Pagla Deewana are stillcelebrating. Says Bobby, ``We made a good commercial entertainer in YPD. And itserved a dual purpose.Those who are fans of the family lovedwatching me with my dad and brother. YPD also proved that while there isgrowing market for ``different'' stuff, masala movies never lose theircharm.''Kangna Ranaut who was confident about her wedding video flick Tanu weds Manu is also happy that she has given one of the year's earliest successes.Of course the two superstars who disappointed and have areported 25 cr loss against their respective names are Akshay Kumar-PatialaHouse and Priyanka Chopra-7 Khoon Maaf.
