Ram Gopal Varma`s 30 crore (as per the maker himself) tribute to `Sholay`, `Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag`, featuring some of the biggest names of the country like Amitabh Bachchan, Mohanlal, Ajay Devgan and Sushmita Sen, was expected to take a good start at B & C centres and also at single screens. Unfortunately its opening is dull and can at best be described as fair.

Another new release is Anant Mahadevan`s remake of the runaway hit from the 70s, `Victoria No. 203`. Interesting to note here that the old `Victoria No. 203` was made by Brij Sadanah, the father of the present producer of the remake, Kamal Sadanah. With poor publicity and negligible hype, the movie is likely to take a poor start.

The third release of today is Pooja Bhatt`s `Dhoka`. Normally the Bhatt camp movies bank heavily on popular and good music but this time around `Dhoka` lacks in that department. Needless to say that `Dhoka` can at best hope for a fair performance at the multiplexes.

Sajid Nadiadwala`s Akshay, Fardeen, Riteish and Vidya starrer, `Heyy Babyy`, had a good start at the box-office, both in India and Overseas. The movie saw a good opening in Bombay. Outside of Bombay, `Heyy Babyy` had good start in Chennai, Delhi, East Punjab, C.I. and C.P. Berar. The movie embarked on a very good start in Rajasthan but was below the mark in U.P., though as the weekend progressed it picked up there also. will work best in big cities and multiplexes, which `Heyy Babyy` in a way will work for its benefit, as it is an expensive film. Even in the Overseas, the Sajid Khan directed movie had a good to excellent weekend.

Yash Raj`s Shah Rukh Khan-Vidya Malvade starrer, `Chak De! India` is still super strong overall and rock-steady in big cities. It is now apparrent that `Chak De! India` is also becoming a success in the Overseas though not as big as the usual Shah Rukh Khan song-and-dance and Raj/Rahul ventures!
