This is more good news for everyone associated with the film, after a good weekend opening, and the fact that producers had already made a profit on their investments in the film even before it released.

Last week’s other releases, Mumbai Mast Kallander and Turning 30!!! have failed to have much impact at the box-office. Mumbai Mast Kallander is a disaster and Turning 30!!! (English-Hindi & dubbed) also could not make much of a mark.
The Green Hornet (E.) is alright. The film collected a total of Rs. 91,95,330 from 90 cinemas. It’s Hindi dubbed version, Kanoon Ke Rakhwale did dull business. However, the Seth Rogen starrer led the Hollywood box-office in its opening weekend.
UTV Spotboy’s No One Killed Jessica dropped badly in 2nd week at many places while holding on reasonably well in some big cities.
