The sudden showers bringing welcome relief from the sweltering heat, have had a positive effect on the box-office. Vashu Bhagnani's Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai has taken a bumper initial all over. Earlier Chori Chori Chupke Chupke and Jodi No.1 had done equally well and are good commission earners. In Mumbai Albela and Chupa Rustam are also doing good business. Chupa Rustum's also holding steady in Punjab.
Hopes are high.
A number of big budget films are lined up for release. June 15 should see a clash of the titans. Lagaan and Gadar-Ek Prem Khatha are both expected to hit the theatres on this day with neither of the producers ready to change the date of release. Both are big films. How big they'll remain will be decided by the audience.
