| The Friday saw multiple releases in the form of `Shor In The City`, `Chalo Dilli`, `Naughty @40`, `I Am` and `Men Will Be Men`. It was but obvious that the result was always going to catastrophic but it tuned out to be worse than that with only `Shor In The City` and `Chalo Dilli` getting noticable collections. |

The opening of Rohan Sippy’s Abhishek Bachchan starrer `Dum Marro Dum` was below par on the opening Friday but overall the first weekend of 16.50 crores (including Thursday paid previews of 80 lakhs) can be termed as decent. The weekdays too saw reasonably steady collections. Unfortunately the film saw little patronage in the Overseas.

| Zokkomon |
Verdict: Disaster |
| Weekly Earnings: - |
Total Earnings: - |

The other release of the same week, Darsheel Safary’s `Zokkomon`, has turned out to be a box-office dud.
|
| Teen Thay Bhai |
Verdict: Flop |
| Weekly Earnings: India Rs. 2.75 crore |
Total Earnings: India Rs. 2.75 crore |
|
PVR Pictures Ltd. and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s `Teen Thay Bhai` turned out to be poor show. However, thanks to the controlled budget and after accounting for non-theatrical rights, the film may just about break even.

The collections of Anees Bazmee’s `Thank You` did fall heavily but the film had a decent second week. With some more luck the Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty , Irrfan Khan, Sonam Kapoor and Rimi Sen starrer can still hope for an average tag, though it looks a tad difficult. The film has also under-performed in the Overseas (steady at the lower end).
