"Gopichand" is going to be one of the greatest hits of the year if thought of in terms of grandeur, treatment and spectacle. Nearly half of the picture has been completed and by the end of July it ought to be on the screen. KOLHAPUR Huns Pictures: High hopes went west when "Jwala" failed to attract the anti
