Glad... finally!!! Rani needs to sign more movies after this.. other than the aamir one.. Taran said that Dhobi ghaat's budget is only 5 crores... so even that seems like a sure shot hit!! Its seems like a good year for small budget flicks.

'No One Killed Jessica' to face challenge from 'Dhobhi Ghat'

Joginder Tuteja, IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, January 18, 2011]'

While 30 crores mark would be crossed by the time the third weekend ends, it would be interesting to see how far does the film progress with another multiplex-friendly film, 'Dhobhi Ghat', arriving alongside. However, regardless of whether this Vidya Balan and Rani Mukherhee starrer manages to stay afloat post the release of this art-house cinema by Aamir Khan, the fact remains that 'No One Killed Jessica' is a good hit and all set to find a very good (continued) audience for itself on satellite and home video. More power to such cinema.

'Ashoka The Hero', 'Impatient Vivek' and 'Vikalp' have turned out to be disasters though with the combined collections of these films refusing to cross the 1 crore mark. The film which has managed to score on a continuous note though is 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. The film was strong even in it's fifth week (at the limited screens on which it is showing) which reflects the strong patronage that this directorial debut by Maneesh Sharma is still enjoying. With over 1.5 crores more coming in, the film has now collected 22 crores at the box office and is a hit.

However this is not where the film's journey ends. While it would be interesting to see if the film crosses the 25 crores mark, 'Band Baaja Baaraat' is all set to enjoy a cult following for itself on satellite and home video in years to come. Anushka Sharma has emerged as a talent to be nurtured while Ranveer Singh is the leading man to watch out for.
