| Once again this week will see multiple releases on the coming Friday - Shreyas Talpade’s `Aagey Se Right`, the Sunny Deol, Arjun Rampal, Udita Goswami and Sagarika Ghatge starrer `Fox`, Rishi Kapoor’s `Chintuji`, Arbaaz-Jimmy’s `Bachelor Party`. A day earlier, that is on Thursday, Ashish Chowdhry’s `Three` will hit the screens at some cinemas. It is but obvious that like last Friday, multiple releases are going to damage one another, though `Fox` and `Aagey Se Right` may be the front runner, with `Three` having the capabilities to surprise. |
| Multiple Releases |
Verdict: Flops galore |
| Weekly Earnings: - |
Total Earnings: - |

Last Friday’s six releases- Sohail Khan’s `Kisaan`, Sunil Shetty’s DADDY COOL, the N. Chandra directed `Yeh Mera India`, the Ashmit Patel starrer `Toss`, Shashank Ghosh’s `Quick Gun Murugan` and Randeep Hooda’s Srinivas Bhashyam directed `Love Khichdi`- all damaged each other badly, with openings varying from so-so to shockingly poor! However from the bunched releases, the decent response to `Quick Gun Murugan` (at some multiplexes, with improvement in collections thereafter) is quite a pleasant surprise for the industry. The rest are set for a disastrous outcome.

After a good first week haul, Vishal Bhardwaj’s Shahid, Priyanka and Amole starrer, `Kaminey`, has dropped rather badly. The fall ranges from 50 to 75 percent. The film has done very well in the US but is below par in the UK. `Kaminey` still has the fire power to improve its rating further.
