It was an important week for very many reasons. The first of them was the fact that the showman Subhash Ghai was making a comeback of sorts with his latest film, Yuvvraaj. He tried to go back to his old formula of making films in his attempt to breakthrough the series of flops which have plagued him since Yaadein.
But unfortunately for him, Yuvvraaj has failed to worked its magic at the box office. It does not augur well for leading man Salman Khan, who has given three flops so far this year, Hello, Heroes and God Tussi Great Ho. The film had a poor opening with 25 per cent collections on the opening day itself. Overall, taking in the entire weekend, the film fared between 30 to 35 per cent at the box office. It is faring slightly better up north. But the the collections are not expected to improve. A dud at the box office. Last week's release, Dostana, continues with its good run at the box office. The film is doing very well at the multiplexes in the metros, though not so well in the smaller towns and single theatres. Quite understandable that. The other film, Dasvidaniya has not been able to create any impact at the box office. EMI from the previous week is also on its way out. The next week promises to be quite exciting with Dibakar Banerjee's Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Onir's Sorry Bhai and Kunal Roy Kapoor's The President Is Coming set for release.
