The much awaited Balki directed double Bachchan starrer, `Paa`, expectedly had an ordinary to weak start.

The Eid-Ul-Azha release, Priyadarshan’s `De Dana Dan` reaped the benefit of the holidays and after a good weekend, remained steady even on Monday.

The Akshay, Paresh, Suniel and Katrina starrer has crashed heavily in the Overseas, though it is already a success there.
