MUMBAI:
Ben Affleck's latest film Argo has become one of the best films
this year in India, coming out of the stables of Warner Bros.
The thriller is based loosely on Tony Mendez's account of the historical
rescue of six US diplomats from Tehran, Iran during the 1979 Iran
hostage crisis.
The film stars Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, and John
Goodman, and was released in North America on 12 October.
The
film is co-produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, who previously
collaborated on the critically acclaimed Good Night, and Good
Luck.
The box-office collection of Argo jumped 84 per cent from Friday
to Saturday and 105 per cent on Sunday.
