| Thursday(31st December), sees triple releases in the form of Pritish Nandy’s `Raat Gayi Baat Gayi?`, Padmini Kolhapure’s comeback venture, `Bolo Raam` and last but not the least, Celina Jaitley’s `Accident On Hill Road`. Unfortunately, none of the three small budget novel theme movies will be able to withstand the `3 Idiots` tornado, which despite being a week old is still going great guns. |

While it was given that Rajkumar Hirani’s Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Boman Irani and Kareena Kapoor starrer, `3 Idiots` would embark on a historic start, no one expected it to shatter the seemingly unsurmountable records of last year`s Aamir blockbuster, `Ghajini`. It did precisely that, not only in India but Overseas as well.
