| This week`s two new releases, `Jo Hum Chahein` and `Pappu Can`t Dance Saala`, failed to impress obtaining low level collections. With `The Dirty Picture` still holding sway at the single screens and `Don-The King Is Back` next week, there not much hope for `Jo Hum Chahein` and `Pappu Can`t Dance Saala`. |

| Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl |
Verdict: Opened |
| Weekly Earnings: UK£75,000 ; US$ 222,000 |
Total Earnings: UK£75,000 ; US$ 222,000 |
| Director: Maneesh Sharma |

| Genre: Comedy |
Recommended Audience: General |

It was expected that Yash Raj Films’ `Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl` would continue the success of the team’s last venture, `Band Baaja Baaraat` but that was not to be. After an ordinary first day the Ranveer, Anushka and Dipannita starrer saw marginal pick ups on Saturday and Sunday netting 16 crores during the opening weekend. While the 25 crore (all inclusive release cost) `Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl` will be a profitable venture for the makers and worldwide distributors (Yash Raj Films), thanks to the non-theatrical earnings, it is unlikely to be termed as a clear success. The film has also disappointed in the Overseas.

| Lanka |
Verdict: Disaster |
| Weekly Earnings: - |
Total Earnings: - |
|
The other release of the week, Maqbool Khan’s, `Lanka`, failed to cut much ice with the audience and has little or no chances of survival.

Lyrics: Rajat Aroraa |

|
The Milan Luthria directed Naseer, Vidya, Emraan and Tusshar starrer `The Dirty Picture` is moving from strength to strength. After a superb weekend the film was rock steady during the weekdays as well. The dubbed Tamil & Telugu versions have yielded an additional 2.50 crores. `The Dirty Picture` though is ordinary in the Overseas(better in US).
|
| I Am Singh |
Verdict: Washout |
| Weekly Earnings: India Rs. 0.35 crore |
Total Earnings: India Rs. 0.35 crore |
|
The performance of `I Am Singh` was quite on the expected lines with the audience failing to connect with it and as result it is a washout.

Meanwhile the collections of Rohit Dhawan’s Akshay, John, Deepika and Chitrangda starrer, `Desi Boyz`, crashed in the second week but the film is already a profitable venture, thanks to the 27 crore satellite rights, 6-7 crore audio rights and 15-16 crore UK subsidy (to be received later this month). The film has also done very well in the Overseas.
