| This week will see the Ajay Devgan, Konkona Sen Sharma and Paresh Rawal sitcom `Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?` taking on Tanushree Dutta’s horror flick `Rokkk`. The week will also see the release of Studio 18’s prestigious `Road, Movie` that will see a selective release. One feels that given the identifiable situations in `Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?`, the film will score over `Rokkk` while `Road, Movie` will also appeal to its select target audience. |

Surprisingly the Amitabh Bachchan, Sir Ben Kingsley and Madhavan starrer `Teen Patti` failed to appeal to the audience both in India and Overseas, though given the cast and promos it was expected to.

The Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone starrer, `Karthik Calling Karthik`, had a decent weekend with the collections improving as the days progressed, though not exactly setting the box-office on fire. In the Overseas `Karthik Calling Karthik` could not impress much.

It did appear that Pritish Nandy Communications’ `Click` may offer something different in the horror genre and appeal to its core audience but it could not.

| Toh Baat Pakki! |

Though it had promised a lot through its music and also the crisp promos, `Toh Baat Pakki!` failed to make an impact.

|
The low collections of `Toh Baat Pakki!` and `Click` prove that they were the second and third preference for the audience who once again chose the Karan Johar directed `My Name Is Khan`. The film saw another good to fair weekend but collections fell quite noticeably after that. In the Overseas `My Name Is Khan` continues its blockbuster run.
