It was expected that the last big release of the year, Murugadoss`s Aamir Khan starrer, `Ghajini` would take a stupendous start, but no one had thought that it would be like a tornado, across India and continue for the full extended weekend! Trade predicts that `Ghajini` is a surefire hit, which is already on its way to writing box–office history, as far as its initial business is concerned. While its individual territory distributors will make profits, the fate of its all–India distributor (Indian Films) hangs in balance because it has paid a fortune for acquiring the rights. The film is also doing superbly in the Overseas but is somewhat slow in the UK.

The film that released with `Ghajini`, Percept Picture Company`s animated `Jumbo`, had as its USP the voiceover by Akshay Kumar. The film saw surprisingly saw quite a good opening in Bombay! The opening day was also quite decent at most places, at limited shows. However, trade feels that `Jumbo` is an ordinary fare with the extraneous advantage of Christmas holidays and the intrinsic advantage of Akshay Kumar being a part of the film. Still, it will not be worth the price Percept is reportedly said to have paid to rope in Akshay Kumar (Rs. 8 to 9 crore).
