| This week will see Vipul Shah’s Salman, Ajay and Asin starrer `London Dreams` and Sujoy Ghosh’s `Aladin`, which features megastar Amitabh Bachchan with Ritesh Deshmukh along with debutante Jacqueline Fernandez. While `London Dreams` is likely to start off on a bright note in the cities and Overseas (thanks to Studio 18’s superb promotion), `Aladin` may just spring a surprise due to getting attention from its target audience, the kids! |

Last Friday’s three releases `Fruit & Nut`, `Love Ka Tadka` and `Bal Ganesh 2` failed to entice the audience who preferred the Diwali releases, especially `All The Best`. The openings of `Fruit & Nut`, `Love Ka Tadka` and the animated `Bal Ganesh 2` varied from weak to very poor and the disastrous outcome is obvious for all the three!

Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision`s `Blue` started off on a brilliant note, its collections started dropping from Tuesday and badly from Wednesday. Despite that the Dutt, Akshay, Zayed and Lara starrer managed handsome shares in India (20 crores) and abroad in the first week. Given the competition, that is a good performance, but it has to be seen if it is good enough, given its huge 80 crore budget! The film is also doing satisfactory but below expectations business in the Overseas.

Although `All The Best` was a slow starter, it picked up from the third day onwards, thanks to media support and the resulting positive word of mouth. The jump was especially pronounced in the comedy patronizing areas of Bombay and also parts of Gujarat and C.I. Though its performance is not a patch on last year’s Diwali release `Golmaal Returns` from the same team, but it is almost certain now that the 40 crore venture will be a success for all concerned. The film though has been totally rejected in the Overseas and discontinued at most places in the US after just a week.

Recommended Audience: General |

It was obvious from the first day that `Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna` was a doomed project and the collections only confirmed that. The Salman, Kareena and Sohail starrer has also failed in the Overseas, but has surprisingly fared much better than `All The Best`.

| Genre: Comedy |
Recommended Audience: Parental Guidance |

Despite the fact that Karan Johar’s `Wake Up Sid` had to surrender a lot of screens to the Diwali releases, it still managed to obtain some good numbers. Given the fact that the Ranbir-Konkona starrer has additional screens from this week (thanks to `Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna`) the film is all set to improve its above average status. `Wake Up Sid` has performed quite well in the Overseas.
