OUATIM Picks Up Khatta Meetha Decent Week One

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai picked in the evening and night shows especially in the Mumbai circuit. Overall first day all India opening average was in the 50-60% region. The film looks like doing well in Mumbai circuit but it remains to be seen how the other circuits go. The reports are good and it will be interesting see if they translate into strong Saturday and Sunday collections.

After a long time we are seeing a pic whose business is picking up after having a slow start. Otherwise all bolly movies have the trend of being overhyped and luring the audience with gimickery and when people realize how pathetic the movie is then the business starts going down. Success through word of mouth is totally refershing to see in bolly! Seems to show publicity isn't everything.
