Mumbai: After a dull month exhibitors were actually waiting for this weekend as two big films Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag hit screens on Friday.

But it looks like Yashraj films could forsee the fate of Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and that could be one of the reasons the film was not promoted the Yashraj way.

The film got a poor opening on Friday between 30-40 per cent. The reason? Stale story and poor promotions.

Meanwhile, Priyadarshan’s comedy flick Bhool Bhulaiyaa came as a breather, opening around 70 per cent at the ticket window thanks to fresh and lively looks. And comedy’s always a safe bet.

Let’s see how some well-known critics in the country rate the two films.
