It was a horror story for last week’s releases and distributors say it will be a miracle if any of them last till the end of this week.

The fact that none of the films picked up at the weekend is therefore a foregone conclusion. Says Rajesh Thadani of Multi Media Combines, “All the films have done dreadfully. Even the kids’ film My Friend Ganesha 3 didn’t show any improvement. Ditto for Well Done Abba and Hum Tum Aur Ghost. Exam season is over and yet there was no improvement. It is pitiable.”

Sanjay Ghai of Mukta Arts says if forced to make a comparison, Well Done Abba fared marginally better than the others in Delhi. “Prem Kaa Game was the worst.”

Echoing these views, Sarang Chandak of Shri Rang Films says the surprise came from Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge, in its fourth week now. “Atithi did remarkable business last weekend and has shown tremendous improvement in CP. I don’t think the other films will run even for a week,” says Chandak.

Distributors had expected the vacations to bring some cheer to the box office but they are bitterly disappointed. Dharam Pal of Paramount Pictures sums it up in just one word: Dreadful. “We expected shows to be houseful this weekend but it was shocking. There was hardly any audience for the films,” he says.

Last weekend saw only one release in Orissa: Hum Tum Aur Ghost. But, according to Jeetu Khandelwal of Movie Pioneers, collections were so poor that the film was removed from theaters in 24 hours!
