Bollywood box-office report of the week

This Friday will see multiple releases in
the form of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's
BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG, the Amit Vats
directed BOYSS TOH BOYSS HAIN, Zakir
Hussain's SIXTEEN and last but not the least TARA-THE JOURNEY OF LOVE AND
PASSION, which has impressed at many
festivals already. From the list it is likely
to be the Farhan-Sonam starrer, BHAAG
MILKHA BHAAG, which will be the front
runner while BTBH and TARA may also get selective patronage. Needless to add
that the multiple releases will cut into
each other's business.

Last Friday's two new releases,
Vikramaditya Motwane's Ranveer,
Sonakshi and Adil starrer LOOTERA and
the K.S. Ravikumar's POLICEGIRI, behaved
as per expectations While the multiplex
audience patronized LOOTERA, the single screens went for Sanjay Dutt's
POLICEGIRI. But as the weekend
progressed LOOTERA went from strength-
to-strength, while POLICEGIRI remained
more or less on the same level and made
little or no headway. LOOTERA has also done quite decently in the overseas
