| Friday saw three new films, `Happy Husbands`, `Life Goes On` and `Monica`. While none of the three film was expected to make an impact at the ticket window, Anup Jalota’s Divya Dutta and Ashutosh Rana starrer, `Monica`, being a topical film (for the hinterland), found some patronage at select single screen cinemas of Uttar Pradesh. |
| Dubbed and regional films |
Verdict: Flops |
| Weekly Earnings: - |
Total Earnings: - |

With no new Hindi releases last Friday, many dubbed and regional films released at the cinemas but even they could not make any mark, more so due to the ICC World Cup Cricket being the first choice for the viewers. Interestingly, even a host of past hits from stars like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan too went unnoticed when distributors re-released them.

Checking out `Tanu weds Manu`, the film continues to gallop in a one horse race. The Madhavan-Kangna starrer is now clean hit. The film has also done quite well in the Overseas (and with a limited release!).

Concluding yet again with Nikhil Advani’s `Patiala House`, the film stays in the cinemas due to the paucity of any new release. The Rishi Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Anushka Sharma starrer has also under-performed in the Overseas (much better in the UK).
