Bumper
opening for Josh
AFTER a long gap, distributors all over India are all excited about the
bumper response from all over India to Venus’s Josh, starring Shah
Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Priya Gill and Chandrachur Singh. Even its music
by Anu Malik has been a big hit. And Ratan Jain of Venus is so excited
by it, that he is planning extra back-up publicity to help the film maintain
its upward swing. "It is a very big hit. Normally, films do not take
100 per cent initials in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, but Josh has pulled
it off not only in the North, but also in the Mumbai, CPCI, Rajasthan,
Gujarat, Bihar, Assam and Nizam circuits. In its first week in Mumbai,
the film has met with housefuls in every theatre," says Ratan Jain.
Trade expert Santosh Singh Jain puts his stamp on the film’s bumper
opening. According to reports he has received, Josh has registered 100
per cent collections, everywhere.
The success of the film will give an added boost to Shah Rukh Khan as
also its director Mansoor Khan. Otherwise, the business of other new releases
is not very encouraging.

response, of 49 per cent in Mumbai.

Hera Pheri

Kaho Na... Pyar Hai
