bollywood Box Office Report : THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC

The coming Friday will see the clash of THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC and
THODI LIFE THODA MAGIC! Nothing to be confused about, the Saif-Rani
starrer THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC is a Yash Raj venture, directed and
co-produced by Kunal Kohli, while THODI LIFE THODA MAGIC is a small
budgeted project, featuring Jackie Shroff and Arbaaz Khan. There is
also a third release, the 'hat ke' VIA DARJEELING, starring the likes
of Kay Kay, Pravin Dabas and Vinay Pathak. While THODI LIFE THODA
MAGIC has no chances at all, even Kunal Kohli's co-production with
Yash Raj Films, THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC, has very little hype
associated with it and is not likely to set the box-office on fire.
With some luck VIA DARJEELING may impress at select multiplexes of
Metros.

Last Friday saw a not so happy week for Bollywood, as none of the new
releases made much of an impact at the ticket window. While Pahlaj
Nihalani's KHUSHBOO had a poor opening, Kumar Mangat's HAAL-E-DIL
fared better with a dull start. The bright lining is that the
performance of the newcomers, especially that of Amita and Adhyayan
was noticed and appreciated. The best collections (comparatively) came
from Rising Star Entertainment's DE TAALI, but even they are nothing
to write home about, despite the presence of stars like Aftab, Ritesh
and Ayesha.

$410,579 so far.

Sikander Kher's second project, SUMMER 2007, turns out to be worse
than his first, WOODSTOCK VILLA. The film has pathetic collections to
show and could not complete even a week's run at many places. The film
collected 6.75 lakhs from Bombay, 2.30 lakhs from Ahmedabad, 3.10
lakhs from Pune, 3.10 lakhs from Delhi city, 1.15 lakhs from Noida, 1
lakh from Ghaziabad, 1 lakh (approx) from Lucknow and Nagpur and 1.25
lakhs from Hyderabad. Netting less than 40 lakhs from India in its
opening week, SUMMER 2007 turns out to be a supreme disaster.

$909,771 from the US and $693,584 from the UK.
