And the phenomenon has been witnessed yet again as all the new releases of this week- `Shabri`, `Chitkabrey-Shades of Grey,`Rizaaz`, `Yeh Dooriyan` and `Stand By` have managed poor collections, with all awaiting the `Eid`release (31st August), Salman Khan`s `Bodyguard`. Given the extended weekend and the hype, `Bodyguard` is expected to set new records! |

All the releases of last week, RGV’s `Not A Love Story`, Ajay Chandhok’s `Chatur Singh Two Star` and the Pravin Dabas directed `Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bandey` failed to achieve anything significant. Comparatively speaking `Not A Love Story` fared the best and may be saved due to its small budget. The other two releases have no chance of survival.
