| This week`s new releases include Emraan Hashmi`s `Crook-It`s Good To Be Bad` and the Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Singh starrer, `Do Dooni Chaar`. As per the early reports, Mohit Soori`s `Crook` has turned out to be a hurried job with poor script and execution. The opening (barring East Punjab) has been very ordinary. The return to the good old days via Walt Disney’s Rish-Neetu nostalgic project, `Do Dooni Chaar`, has had a poor start but is getting uniform praise. |

Ranbir-Priyanka`s `Anjaana Anjaani` saw a good start at city multiplexes but it was average at single screens. The trade predicts a not so rosy picture (after the good weekend) for the Siddharth Anand directed flick. The film has done decent to good business in the Overseas.

Meanwhile Shankar’s `Enthiran` and `Enthiran-The Robot` has done extra ordinary business in South (Tamil and Telugu), while the Hindi version `Robot` saw an average start, though trade expects a pick up. In the Overseas the Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions have jointly smashed the opening weekend records of even films like `3 Idiots` and `My Name Is Khan` in the US.

| Khichdi -The Movie |
Verdict: Awaited |
| Weekly Earnings: - |
Total Earnings: - |
|
J.D. Majethia`s `Khichdi-The Movie` could not come anywhere near the popularity of the serial . In fact it turned out to be a good experimental attempt that turned horribly wrong (despite the uniform critical acclaim) for it’s distributors, barring Gujarat, putting a question mark on the viability of such projects in the future.

Abhinav Kashyap’s `Dabangg` is a one-horse race and continues getting massive numbers even in the third week. The Salman-Sonakshi starrer is also impressive in the Overseas.

| Genre: Family |
Recommended Audience: General |
|
|
Karan Johar’s Siddharth Malhotra directed , `We Are Family`, is on it’s last legs. The Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal starrer will have to rely on non-theatrical rights for recovery. The film is below the mark in the Overseas circuit (for a Karan project featuring Kajol)
