‘Blue’ emerges winner at box office

India’s first underwater thriller is proving to be a smashing hit at the box office. Multi-starrer Blue has easily won the Diwali battle, though the movie received mixed response from the audience as well as critics. ‘Blue’ grossed around Rs 19 crore approx over its first weekend, thumbs up to its sleek direction and camera work, and thanks to the bikini babe Lara Dutta.

The other release All The Best tried to match its success and collected approx Rs 15.50 crore over its four-day weekend. The Ajay Devgan-produced film showed its best BO performance on Sunday and Monday, doing good business in Mumbai and CPCI region. However, the saucy Kareena Kapoor and ‘Wanted’ Salman Khan couldn’t save Main Aur Mrs Khanna from the box office doom.

The film managed Rs 1.25 crore approx on Friday, approx Rs 1 crore on Saturday and Rs 2 crore net on Sunday for a weekend total of only Rs 4.25 crore approx. Chances are that the movie will continue its poor run as the other two films ‘All The Best’ and ‘Blue’ are turning out to be the viewers’ hot favourite.

So, with not-so-big releases on the coming Friday, it is certain that both ‘All The Best’ and ‘Blue’ will benefit at the BO.
