The first new release of the week is Amitoj Mann`s Sunny Deol starrer, `Kaafila`, dealing with the global issue of illegal immigration. Chances are that will do well in North (especially East Punjab) and Central India.

The major release of the week is Yash Raj`s Shimit Amin directed, Shah Rukh Khan starrer, `Chakde! India`. Given the sytematic, though low key publicity(deliberate), the 18 crore `Chakde! India` is likely good returns from metros and big cities. Needless to add that it will do excedingly well in the Overseas, thanks to SRK!

Unfortunately, just like the brilliant `Gandhi My Father`, the third release of the week, Vishal Bhardwaj`s extremely well made, `Blue Umbrella`, has little or no chances of a commercial success.

Verdict: Awaited |
| Weekly Earnings: US $174,425 ; UK $90,271 |
Total Earnings: US $174,425 ; UK $90,271 |

As we had predicted, Anil Kapoor`s Feroz Abbas Khan directed, Akshaye Khanna starrer, `Gandhi My Father`, had a poor start in Bombay and the opening was pathetic almost everywhere. A great performance by Akshaye Khanna is wasted again as the movie is certain to fail at the ticket window, despite 4 and 5 star ratings. In the Overseas, `Gandhi My Father`, impressed in the US, but dissapointed in UK.

Despite the fact that a major segment of the trade and media (affiliated to sabotaging producer Sohail Maklai), tried to flop `Cash` from day one , the Anubhav Sinha directed movie had an impressive start. The weekend has netted an impresive 11 crores. In fact, there was false reporting about its opening day being poor and in the range of 50 to 70 percent! However, as per reputed trade journals, `Cash`, which released at Regal, Eros and 82 other cinemas of Bombay, had a very good opening. Outside of Bombay, the opening was very good at many places but not upto the mark in smaller circuits like C.I., and the first week numbers will reveal the truth. The movie has also entered the UK charts at number 10.

David Dhawan`s Govinda, Salman, Lara and Katrina starrer, `Partner`, continued to rock at the box-office, even in the second week. The collections were extremely stable, both at the `A` centres as well as mass oriented `B` and `C` centres. Despite a significant fall in the Overseas, during the third weekend, `Partner` achieves a hit status.

Surprisingly, Anil Sharma`s Deol family starrer, `Apne`, showed fairly stable collections in the fifth week, as compared to the previous one (where it fell heavily due to the `Partner` onslaught). `Apne` has already been declared a hit in UK.
