| This week’s new release, Shirish Kunder’s Akshay-Sonakshi starrer, `Joker`, has embarked on an ordinary to dull start. And it comes as no surprise as the the film does not carry the hype and the popular music that should be associated with a big project, and so the equation becomes quite tough for the film despite a very reasonable selling price (around 40 crores). |

The other listed releases of the week include `From Sydney With Love`, `I Am 24` and `Jalpari-The Desert Mermaid`, and all have little or no chances at the ticket window!

In the end, checking out Pooja Bhatt’s `Jism 2`, the film is on its last legs. While the producers of the Sunny Leone starrer have made a good profit, the all-India distributor (Ponty Chaddha) will also make profits, but at the cost of most territorial distributors who stand to lose. In the Overseas too `Jism 2` has been rejected.
