| The coming Friday is more or less an open week as makers had preferred to keep a safe distance from Rakesh Roshan’s `Kites`, which was expected to have a bountiful run during its second weekend as well. Of course there is a relatively lesser known `Ashok Chakra` and also the Hollywood film, `Prince Of Persia` (along with its dubbed version), listed for release. However it is the next Friday (4th June) where the real big numbers will come via Prakash Jha`s `Raajneeti`. |

The opening of Rakesh Roshan’s Anurag Basu directed Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori and Kangna Ranaut starrer, `Kites`, was huge! Unfortunately the word of mouth turned out to be mixed at the A centers and predominantly poor at the B and C centers and as a result after a huge weekend, the very expensive film saw declining collections Monday onwards. The film has also underperformed in the Overseas (given the humongous expectations), though the Brett Ratner edited main stream version (that will release in the Overseas this Friday) is expected to fare much better.

| Bumm Bumm Bole |
Verdict: Flop |
| Weekly Earnings: India Rs. 1 crore |
Total Earnings: India Rs. 1 crore |
|
As expected, Priyadarshan’s Darsheel Safary starrer `Bumm Bumm Bole` has failed.
|
 |
| Kushti |
Verdict: Disaster |
| Weekly Earnings: India Rs. 0.35 crore |
Total Earnings: India Rs. 0.35 crore |
|
|
The Nargis and Rajpal Yadav starrer (which also features The Great Khali) `Kushti` is another poor fare.

 |
| Badmaash Company |
Verdict: Semi-hit |
| Weekly Earnings: India Rs. 8.75 crore |
Total Earnings: India Rs. 29 crore ; UK£122,000 |
| PB Rating: 7.0 out of 10 |
Public Rating (by 406 unique users): 5.25 |
| Director: Parmeet Sethi |
Producer: Aditya Chopra |
| Music: Pritam |
Lyrics: Anvita Dutt |
| Starring: Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Meiyang Chang, Vir Das |
| Genre: Thriller |
Recommended Audience: General |
|
|
Yash Raj`s Parmeet Sethi directed `Badmaash Company` has dropped by quite a bit but given the low budget of around 20 crore, the performance is quite praiseworthy. The Shahid-Anushka starrer though has failed to appeal to the Overseas audience
|
 |
| Housefull |
Verdict: Hit Plus |
| Weekly Earnings: India 6.90 crore |
Total Earnings: India Rs. 67.80 core ; UK£671,236 ; US$1,183,658 |
| Director: Sajid Khan |
Producer: Sajid Nadiadwala |
| Music: Shankar Ehsaan Loy |
Lyrics: Sameer and Amitabh Bhattacharya |
| Starring: Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Arjun Rampal, Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan |
| Genre: Comedy |
Recommended Audience: General |
|
|
As expected Sajid Nadiadwala’s `Housefull` had a very stable third week as compared to the last one, because the number of shows (especially at the multiplexes ) are about the same as the previous week. The film yields good shares. The Sajid Khan directed Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Riteish Deshmukh, Deepika Padukone and Arjun Rampal starrer has also done quite well in the Overseas, though it was expected to do better.
