| This week saw a number of new films- Jimmy Sheirgill’s `A Flat`, the Tanushree Dutta starrer `Raama-The Saviour` and `Dunno Y... Na Jaane Kyun`. With the Diwali releases, especially `Golmaal 3` still quite strong, the new incumbents have not found any takers. |

The much awaited Diwali battle between Ajay Devgn’s `Golmaal 3` and the Akshay Kumar starrer `Action Replayy` was expected to be in favour of G3 but not as one sided as it actually turned out to be during the opening weekend. `Golmaal 3` has also done very good business (for the star cast) in the Overseas.

After a somewhat disappointing Friday `Action Replayy` picked up substantially on Saturday only to see indications of a fall on Sunday itself. Surprisingly, despite the presence of stars like Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the film lost to `Golmaal 3` even in the Overseas with very ordinary collections.

| Rakht Charitra |
Verdict: Flop |
| Weekly Earnings: Rs. 1.75 crore |
Total Earnings: India Rs. 8.50 crore |
|
After a below par opening week Ram Gopal Varma’s `Rakht Charitra` saw a huge fall in the second. The film will now have to depend on the Telugu version to take it to safety.

Concluding yet again with Shankar’s Rajnikanth starrer `Robot`, the film keeps moving on, even in its Hindi version. Of course the Tamil version `Endhiran` is a blockbuster. The film (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu) is a huge Overseas success.
