BPeople's Verdict
Refugee
nets 96% in Mumbai
THE pre-release hype and the fact that the film had a new lead pair in
Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor, whom the audience wanted to see,
has helped the film do well in all the centres except a few. Yet, trade
circles are sceptical about whether the film will become a hit, judging
from the general opinion of viewers. There seems to be a consensus on
the fact that the film is too long, by at least 15 minutes. At three and
half hours duration, the film can do with some editing. It is too early
to predict whether the film will sustain itself in coming weeks.
Refugee
THE first week collections in Mumbai came to 96 per cent but in Delhi
it was 82 per cent and in Allahabad, 95 per cent. However, its collections
in Bhuj was 100 per cent and 95 per cent in Aligarh and 69 per cent in
Hardwar. 92 per cent in Jaipur and 80 per cent in Nagpur. On its first
three days it netted 100 per cent collections but subsequently the collections
took a tumble.

PRANLAL Mehta’s Nana Patekar-starrer has not picked up as
its collections in Mumbai came to a mere 38 per cent in Mumbai in the
second week, 30 per cent in Delhi, 42 per cent in Calcutta, 23 per cent
in Akola, 25 per cent in Bhopal and 20 per cent in Jaipur. That’s
a huge disappointment after the promising first week.
Joru Ka Ghulam
IN its third week, its collections dropped to 50 per cent in Mumbai
in the third week. In Delhi it fared still worse, at 21 per cent, in Calcutta,
26 per cent, in Jaipur, 15 per cent and in Akola, 60 per cent.

THE film is holding steady with its collections in Mumbai staying
at 65 per cent in its fourth week and in Chennai, 56 per cent. But in
Calcutta its collections took a tumble to 46 per cent and in Jaipur, 32
per cent.
Kya Kehna!
THE film is doing steady business in most places. In its seventh
week, it collected 50 per cent in Mumbai.
Kaho Na... Pyar Hai
In its 25th week, the film collected 35 per cent in Mumbai.
Bichhoo
The opening was good, but subsequently, its collections appear
to be coming down. Word of mouth publicity does not seem to be particularly
good for the film.
THIS WEEK:
Releasing this Friday is Ram Gopal Varma’s Jungle. Also to hit
the screens are Jai Bhavani and Maha Yudh.
Shringar Films is releasing Kunwara, starring Govinda, Urmila Matondkar
