| The opening of Homi Adajania’s Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty starrer, `Cocktail`, was expected to be good, but it has surpassed the expectations. The start has been bumper to very good! Even at good cinemas of mid-sized towns `Cocktail` has embarked on a good start. The single screens are obviously not on the same level, but nevertheless quite decent. |

Though Vidhu Vinod Chopra`s `Ferrari Ki Sawaari` has had a creditable run for a Sharman Joshi, but due to the high price at which it was sold to the global distributor, it is a commercial failure. The film has done well in the overseas and the collections are quite good in the US.
