Special: Blue Pics: Bollywood's Diwali plans Pics: Blue is high on stunts Pics: Blue and All The Best It was a packed Diwali weekend at the box office with Blue, All The Best and Main Aurr Mrs Khanna jostling for the audience's attention and critical acclaim. While All The Best won over the critics, Blue in spite of receiving only brickbats and no bouquets from the critics set the cash registers ringing. "Blue has got the biggest opening so far out of all the three films. Now All The Best is also picking up," Vikas Mohan, Trade analyst. Blue has got an exceptionally well opening at the Box Office. More than what we were expecting," said Debang Sampat, Senior VP Cinemax. Blue may have had a good opening but the question remains whether the whopping Rs 80 crore budget will be recovered? Had Blue not released on a Diwali backend then it would have suffered huge losses," said Vikas Mohan, Trade analyst. While Blue may be ahead in the race so far don't discount All The Best just as yet though we certainly can't say the same for Main Aur Mrs Khanna. http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?Section=Movies&ID=ENTEN20090113354&subcatg=MOVIESINDIA&keyword=bollywood ________________________________
