| Aap Kaa Surroor |
Verdict: Awaited |
| Weekly Earnings: UK $101,639 |
Total Earnings: UK $101,639 |

Himesh Reshammiya`s `Aap Kaa Surroor` took the entire trade by shock as his big screen debut movie took an excellent to mind-boggling start across India and is on way to a definite hit and very early. With the extraordinary start that it has taken and the craze that it has generated, it will surely make a beeline to the class `A` level for all its distributors, who have had it quite cheap. The movie also performed creditably in the UK.

Anil Sharma`s `Apne`, featuring the three Deols, had a good start in North and Central India but was fair at other places, with collections hovering in the 40-60 percent range. The movie has the merits to grow on the strength of positive word of mouth and there are already signs of it. In the UK too `Apne` had an excellent start for a Deol movie.

`Awarapan`, the costliest film from the Bhatts` stable, featuring Emraan Hashmi, got squished between `Aap Kaa Surroor` and `Apne` and had an opening that was dull to below the mark almost everywhere. It has an uphill task now to even cover its investment.

All hopes of a recovery for `Jhoom Barabar Jhoom` disappeared after the second week numbers came out. Even Yash Raj could not have fathomed such a huge crash, one of the biggest ever for a big and prestigious project. The movie is the first losing venture for Yash Raj after nearly five years. In the Overseas too, `Jhoom Barabar Jhoom` has been rejected in the US but is much better in the UK, though it has now crashed there also.
