MUMBAI: The first week‘s collections of the new releases clearly shows a Hollywood flick, Inception, overtaking Bollywood.

While  Warner Bros‘ Inception, released in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu simultaneously, collected Rs 96 million from 271 screens, Tere Bin Laden and Udaan have been doing good business compared to the big-budget film Lamhaa.

Tere Bin Laden netted a decent Rs 56.1 million from 344 screens. Udaan, on the other hand, did a net business of Rs 25 million from 150 screens. Comparatively, Lamhaa netted Rs 85 million from as many as 922 screens.

While Tere Bin Laden has been liked for its simplicity and somber presentation, Udaan has been lapped up by the high-thinking gentry. Lamhaa, on the other hand, failed to garner eyeballs because the film had nothing new to offer on Kashmir. 

Meanwhile, the opening response of Priyadarshan‘s Khatta Meetha has been extremely mixed across the country. The film that opened to a below average did a net business of approximately Rs 65 million across India on the first day itself.
