| The opening of `Gali Gali Chor Hai`, starring Akshaye Khanna and Shriya Saran, was never expected to be bumper. However, the slowish (below 25 percent) start at most centers was a disappointment. Additionally the film could not improve it’s collection much during the latter shows, despite a section of the audience liking it. Still, the low budget `Gali Gali Chor Hai` may still impress, more so at the single screens and also in the Mumbai-Gujarat belt, along with the smaller centers. |

Last Thursday`s Hrithik-Priyanka starrer, `Agneepath`, netted a superb 88-90 crores (to be validated) during the first extended run of eight days. Given the all inclusive cost of 75 crore (half of which has already been recovered from the non-theatrical tights), the film is a clean hit, and may achieve a super-hit status.
