Sonu Sood's solo release Maximum failed to get a decent opening at the box-office though Sonu Sood looks suave and has good screen presence in Maximum, the weak script didn't help his solo lead film get a decent initial. Kabeer Kaushik's story and direction seems dated and the film had nothing new to offer. So the maximum rather minimum that Maximum couldn't manage was an opening weekend collection of around Rs 2 crores.

From the other two releases, the documentary film Superman of Malegaon saw a very limited release. The film about the small filmmaking industry of Malegaon, made on a shoe-string budget has received positive reviews but might possibly work more on the home video front. Veena Malik's B-grader Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai went unnoticed.

Meanwhile amongst the few rare cases seen at the box-office, Anurag Kashyup's Gangs of Wasseypur picked up to position one from its second position last week. Good word of mouth and positive feedback helped it gain better audience in second weekend. Also there wasn't any big competition in form of new release. By its second weekend, the film has managed collection of around Rs 22 crores. Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahaani fizzled out completely in second weekend and is a flop.

The coming week sees the release of Rohit Shetty's Bol Bachchan starring Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles. Shetty and Devgn have had a very good track record at the box-office and even this action-comedy is expected to open big.
