| This Friday sees the release of the Amitabh-Abhishek starrer, `Paa` while Himesh`s `Radio` has already released on Thursday at many cinemas. While there is a lot of curiosity and expectations from `Paa`, the hype is somehow not of the level that one expected from any of the two releases. Of the two, `Paa` is the front runner and is expected to put up some good numbers from Mysore, NCR and Bombay circuit multiplexes. |

Last Friday saw a solo Eid-ul Azha release in the form of Priyadarshan’s Akshay, Suneil, Paresh, Katrina and Sameera starrer, `De Dana Dan`. The film saw a good opening at single-screen cinemas of Bombay but was rather disappointing at the multiplexes. Outside of Bombay the opening was good in U.P., East Punjab, Bihar, C.P. Berar, C.I. and Rajasthan but was below the mark in Delhi. The picture however changed on Saturday and Sunday and the film picked up further (and improved in Delhi and Bombay multiplexes also). During the weekend, the film netted a good 23 crores from India. `De Dana Dan` has also done very well in the Overseas.
