The much-delayed multi-starrer Mehbooba, as predicted by us, opened to a good response at single screens in the Hindi belt. However, expectedly, its opening at multiplexes was very poor. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na continues to reign supreme. The film entered into second week with fantastic collections, grossing almost 100% at several screens.
What's worth highlighting is that practically all multiplexes have increased the shows of the film in its second week - a fact highlighted in the 'Biz Talk' column on Thursday morning. Besides, the makers have opened approx. 100 more centres from this week. The first week nett is expected to be in the range of Rs. 20 cr. +. After deducting theatre rentals, it clearly indicates that the film has yielded profits for its producer/distributors from the first week itself. Love Story 2050 continues to remain on the lower side. The second weekend has also opened to a lukewarm response.
