| Even a week old Salman-Asin starrer, `Ready`, proved too hot for `X Men : First Class` to handle and although it opened to a decent 50-55 percent at metro multiplexes it was `Ready` which remained the first choice of the audience even during its second weekend!. The other two Bollywood release, Anurag Kashyap’s `Shaitan` and Subhash Ghai’s `Love Express` fared worse but as expected. |

The start of Anees Bazmee’s `Ready` has indeed turned out to be earth shaking, and that from East to West and North to South! Not only that, after a huge weekend, the film has managed quite a steady run even during the weekdays. At per the first estimations `Ready` has netted in the range 67-68 crore during the first week, but it can be higher. The film is also doing very well in the Overseas but not on the same level as the Indian run.

Needless to add that the other film of the same week, `A Strange Love Story`, is a washout.
