A weak of low scores
THE two big releases of last week, Dhadkan and Deewane have failed to evoke a big response despite the media hype. Considering the distributors have paid a heavy price for the films, unless they do substantial business, they may end up as duds at the b-o. The openings of the two films were fairly good in some centres, though not all.

Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega
The Salman Khan, Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta starrer registered 98 per cent in Mumbai in the first week. In Delhi it collected 80 per cent, 85 per cent in Calcutta, 92 per cent in Hyderabad, 86 per cent in Solapur, 82 per cent in Jamnagar, 53 per cent in Jaipur.

Justice Chowdhury
The Mithun Chakraborty starrer fared scarcely better than it was expected to. Its first week collections in Mumbai came to 47 per cent.

Kama Shastra (Dubbed)
It collected 46 per cent in Mumbai in the first week.

Nidaan
Its second week collections came to 16 per cent in Mumbai

Kunwara
In Mumbai it registered 67 per cent in its third week, 44 per cent in Delhi, 59 per cent in Lucknow and 50 per cent in Nagpur.

Refugee
In its sixth week it registered 29 per cent in Mumbai.

Kaho Naa... Pyar Hai
In morning shows, the film collected 88 per cent in Mumbai last week.

This Week
Opening this Friday is the much-hyped Vashu Bhagnani movie, Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Kirti Reddy. It has become a hot property in trade circles and has generated a fair measure of hope.
Other films due for release are Band Kamre Mein and Murde Ki Maut.
