This week’s major release, Rascals, has not found appreciation. It opened on Thursday (Dussehra) to a fairly good response (all-India net collection on day 1 was around Rs. 7.5 to 7.75 crore) but collections came down markedly on day 2 (approx. Rs. 6 crore).

Last week’s release Force did fair business in the weekend but collections dropped thereafter. After netting Rs. 16 over its first weekend, the John Abraham starrer could only take its week 1 tally to Rs. 23 crore (all-India net collection). Fox may not be able to scrape through unless the company has Lady Luck favouring it greatly. The dull pre-Diwali days will only add to its tale of woes.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster did reasonably well in North India but not elsewhere. It managed to net Rs. 5 crore in its first week. Its reasonable budget is its plus point. Hum Tum Shabana proved a debacle in the first week. Tere Mere Phere could not do much at the box-office in 1st week. Chargesheet also failed to make any mark at the ticket windows in week 1.
Mausam crashed in the second week and had to be pulled out from many cinemas across the nation. Speedy Singhs (English & dubbed) is doing average in North India only. In the rest of the country, it has gone almost unnoticed.
