| Kabul Express managed to hold at around 50% on Monday at major centres. The ilm did not get a multiplex release in the Delhi/NCR region due to revenue share problem which will effect its collection in that area as Kabul Express is doing better at multiplexes than single screens. Aryan is a poor fare. Baabul has poor collections in week 2. Dhoom 2 is continuing to drop all over but considering its enormous first two week business, it was expected to drop. Vivah is solid as a rock all over and business may end up around 30 crore nett. |
| Interestingly a section of the trade reported a 75%-80% opening of Baabul when it was released and then by midweek this 75-80% opening had turned into a 40-70% opening. This section of the trade has been getting it wrong all too frequently, first it was a critically acclaimed film released in January and then recently with a remake Diwali release. It could be a case of poor sources or just a case of bad reporting without checking facts. |

| Film | Week | Notes |
| Kabul Express | New | Surprisingly the film opened pretty well and is another winner for Yashraj Films. The film had a opening ranging from 60-80% at most places and profits look set to be earned after first week as reports are decent. |
| Baabul | 1 | Poor first week business. The film did slightly better in Mumbai circuit but even there collections have dropped badly. It may recover its costs in Mumbai but elsewhere it is a losing fare. |
| Dhoom 2 | 3 | The film drops around 60% at most big cities in third week but interiors are stronger. The film will be biggest nett grosser ever within four weeks. BLOCKBUSTER |
| Vivah | 5 | Rock steady all over. All Time Blockbuster in Bihar. Overall SUPERHIT |
