| This week has seen an interesting battle between Mallika Sherawat`s `Hisss`, the John Abraham starrer `Jhootha Hi Sahi` and Vivek Oberoi`s `Rakht Charitra`. As per the early indications, the dull pre-`Diwali` phase has taken it`s toll all the new releases. Comparatively speaking `Hisss` seems to have taken the initial rounds, thanks to a great single screen performance in the hinterland. The biggest disappointment (better in a handful of multiplexes) comes from Abbas Tyrewala directed `Jhootha Hi Sahi` while RGV`s `Rakht Charitra` has not achieved anything significant in Hindi, but has generated stupendous collections via the Telugu version. |
