This week will see Madhuri Dixit`s comeback vehicle, `Aaja Nachle`. The Anil Mehta directed Yash Raj project banks heavily on the (dancing) queen`s star power and dance prowess. While that may work at some multiplexes and maybe in the Overseas, `Aaja Nachle` is not expected to be a big success.

Last Friday`s solo release, Vivek Agnihotri`s John, Bipasha, Arshad and Boman starrer, `Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal`, got off to a mixed start, as we had indicated. While Bombay saw an ordinary first day (picked up during the evening and night shows), places like Jaipur and Bengal saw a fairly nice start. While overall success looks difficult for the UTV project, `Goal` may prove to be an average earner at a few circuits, thanks to the reasonable selling prices there. The biggest setback for UTV must be the ordinary performance in the Overseas.

The first `Diwali` release, Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s Ranbir, Sonam, Salman (special appearance) and Rani starrer, `Saawriya`, crashed by over 80 percent in the second week, much to the shock of the makers. Even in the Overseas `Saawariya` has had an ordinary run, after a good opening weekend. The performance though is much better, as compared to India.

The second `Diwali` release, Farah Khan`s Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika, Arjun and Shreyas starrer, `Om Shanti Om`, continues its great run (even in the second week), falling by just around 35-40 percent, at the major centers. In the Overseas, `Om Shanti Om`, already a blockbuster, continues its record breaking run

Shahid-Kareena starrer, `Jab We Met`, seems to be on an inspired and rejuvenated comeback. The collections (that usually fall) saw a jump of around 30 percent from the third to the fourth week! The movie is also a good success in the UK, especially in view of the costs involved.
