It's another crowded week at the ticket window, with yet again four major releases. The list includes Bobby-Priyanka's CHAMKU, the Tusshar-Raima starrer C KKOMPANY, MUKHBIIR with Samir Dattani and the Arjun-Farhan project ROCK ON!! It is but obvious that it will once again be injurious for the health of all the four releases, though the pack leaders are likely to be C KKOMPANY and ROCK ON!!, while CHAMKU and MUKHBIIR will vie for critical acclaim.

Last Friday had a big surprise in store. Though we had said that PHOONK and MAAN GAYE MUGHALL-E-AZAM were going to be the front runners, the flying start of PHOONK was a total surprise. Contrary to all expectations, the horror film opened to excellent houses. And that was the scene not just in one or two centres or a couple of circuits, but all over! With MAAN GAYE MUGHALL-E-AZAM, the companion release of PHOONK, taking a rather poor start, it is not surprising that the multiplexes have increased the shows of the destined to be super-hit, Ram Gopal Varma's 3 crore PHOONK! About the other two releases, the lesser said the better. While MUMBAI MERI JAAN was another example of critical acclaim but no box-office rewards, MY FRIEND GANESHA 2 is an opportunity lost due to some shoddy work. Still all is not lost for the two as MUMBAI MERI JAAN is showing signs of some pick up based on positive feedbacks, while MY FRIEND GANESHA 2 was always going to be a DVD winner, at a later stage.
