Next Friday will see the release of only one major movie and that is Harry Baweja`s Vikram Bhatt directed `Speed`. The film starring Zayed Khan, Urmila Matondkar, Aashish Chaudhary, Sanjay Suri and Aftab Shivdasani has little or no chance because the two releases of last week are quite fresh and the Priyadarshan directed `Bhool Bhulaiyaa` still strong.

Verdict: Awaited |
| Weekly Earnings: US $320,987 ; U K $501,714 |
Total Earnings: US $320,987 ; U K $501,714 |

Yash Raj`s `Laaga Chunari Mein Daag` started on a dull to weak note almost everywhere. Saturday and Sunday saw some pick up ( due to `Eid`), specially at some multiplexes. Trade feels that the Jaya, Rani, Konkona, Kunal and Abhishek (extended special appearance) starrer, `Laaga Chunari Mein Daag`, may not live up to the Yash Raj brand. The movie has fared much better in the Overseas. The first weekend can be termed as good in the UK and decent in the US.

The second `Eid` release, T-Series` Priyadarshan directed Akshay, Shiney, Vidya, Amisha and Rajpal starrer, `Bhool Bhulaiyaa`, dominated the Yash Raj venture from the first show itself, both in India and the Overseas. Trade feels that `Bhool Bhulaiyaa` is a fair entertainer and given its good start, it is on course to succeed. Even in the Overseas, `Bhool Bhulaiyaa` easily outscored `Laaga Chunari Mein Daag`, more in the US and less in UK.

| Go , Its Breaking News , Chhodon Naa Yaar , 50 Lakh |
Verdict: Flop to disaster |
| Weekly Earnings: 1.25 crores to a few thousand |
Total Earnings: 1.25 crores to a few thousand |
|
As was obvious to all and sundry, the four bunched releases of October 5, Ram Gopal Varma`s `Go`, Swadeshi Entertainment`s `Chhodon Naa Yaar`, Percept Picture Company`s `50 Lakh` and Animaa Films` `It`s Breaking News`, have failed dismally at the ticket window. While `Go` is a debacle, `Chhodon Naa Yaar` is a box-office bomb. The third release, `50 Lakh`, is worth just a few thousands and `It`s Breaking News` has broken the back of its distributors!

Prakash Jha`s low priced Manish Tiwari directed, Shreyas, Imaad and Nikita Anand starrer, `Dil Dosti Etc.`, had a steady second week. Given the shoestring budget, `Dil Dosti Etc.` is a surprising success.

| Dhol |
Verdict: Semi-hit |
| Weekly Earnings: India Rs. 1.75 crores |
Total Earnings: India Rs. 17.25 crores ; UK $91,559 |
|
Despite bad reviews and negative write ups, Priyadarshan continues to beat his `Dhol`! The 8 crore Percept project is another unquestionable success for Priyadarshan in India. `Dhol` though has flopped in the UK.

Indra Kumar`s `Dhamaal` sees another decent week. the Dutt, Arshad, Riteish, Jaaved and Aashish starrer has touched the hit status in India. No wonder Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria are thinking in terms of a sequel! `Dhamaal` is also a good average in the UK .

Yash Raj`s Shah Rukh Khan-Vidya Malvade starrer, `Chak De! India`, has another steady week to show. The 18-20 crore movie is already a blockbuster and chances are that it may just about creep to an all time blockbuster list, that is amongst the top five grossers of Bollywood. The Shimit Amin directed `Chak De! India` is also a hit in the Overseas.
