| It was another crowded Friday with as many as four releases - `Ragini MMS`, `Love You.. Mr. Kalakaar`, `Shagird` and `Stanley Ka Dabba`. Expectedly it was Balaji`s `Ragini MMS` which took the lead, though the 20-25 percent start was nothing to write home about. The film did show a marked improvement towards the latter shows as the occupancies increased to 35-40 percent. Amongst the other releases it was Rajshri`s `Love You.. Mr. Kalakaar` which followed next but once again with dull collections. It must be added here that `Love You.. Mr. Kalakaar` is doing quite decently at the single screens. The other two releases, `Stanley Ka Dabba` and `Shagird`, have managed to get attention but only at select cinemas of Bombay city and suburbs. |

Meanwhile Rohan Sippy’s Abhishek Bachchan starrer `Dum Maaro Dum` managed steady collections at several places. The film had a lot of shows reduced (due to the new releases) and it reflects in the numbers. The film though has ordinary numbers to show in the Overseas (better in the US).
