B.O. update: 'S.L.B.B.' better at multiplexes
The week witnessed the release of two diverse films. The first one is a commercial film, while the other is a realistic fare. SHAKALAKA BOOM BOOM has opened to a better response at multiplexes as compared to the single screens. The opening was in the range of 30%-50% [a few shows were better]. The second release, PROVOKED, hasn't created ripples. The opening was dull at several screens.
