It is a sort of competetion between two teenage love stories, Kumar Mangat`s `Haal-E-Dil` and Pahlaj Nihalani`s `Khushboo`. One feels that `Haal-E-Dil` will dominate the newcomers race!

The second release (in less than a month) of Anupam and Kiron Kher`s son, Sikandar Kher, `Summer 2007`, turned out to be another disappointment. Though the film deserves tax exemption in Maharashtra, it had a poor start in Bombay and the opening was terribly dull everywhere. The film will fail to generate any heat at the box-office.

The makers of `Mere Baap Pehle Aap` have gone in for a big release, especially in Bombay-Thane, with almost 85 prints, but the opening was dull there. By and large the opening was weak almost everywhere. However, the positive thing is that the Om Puri, Akshaye, Paresh and Genelia starrer picked up quite well on Saturday and especially Sunday, and `Mere Baap Pehle Aap` had a satisfactory weekend. Given the reasonable selling prices the film may just about sail through. `Mere Baap Pehle Aap` has faired decently in the Overseas, given the cost and cast.

Adlab, Z Picture Company and K Sera Sera`s Ramgopal Varma directed and much awaited sequel to `Sarkar`, the three Bachchan starrer, `Sarkar Raj`, was one of the most awaited releases of the first half of 2008. The film had a fair first day in Bombay and South but the opening was by and large disappointing at many places. However, the film picked up quite well as the weekend progressed and Sunday saw quite a good turnout at many cinemas. Unfortunately, `Sarkar Raj` has not been appreciated much outside Bombay circuit (barring Hyderabad and Calcutta) and its collections began to drop from Monday onwards, even in Maharashtra. Considering the heavy prices at which it has been sold, the final outcome of `Sarkar Raj` will depend on its performance in the coming weeks. `Sarkar Raj` has crashed heavily (70-72 percent) in the Overseas, during the second weekend

While Rajeev Khandelwal`s big screen debut, `Aamir`, got him huge critical acclaim, the collections did not reflect that. The film has to show some improvement in the second week, to impress commercially.
