Everyone
expected
Parineeta
to
embark
on
a
flying
start.
But
the
Friday
collections
--
in
the
range
of
45%
to
75%
--
did
catch
the
trade
watchers
by
surprise
[the
multiplexes
showed
a
better
start].
Ideally,
this
2005
adaptation
of
an
early
20th
century
classic
should've
garnered
a
90%
+
start
everywhere,
irrespective
of
the
merits
of
the
film.
The
multiplexes
of
Mumbai,
Delhi
and
Kolkata
performed
exceedingly
well
in
the
first
weekend,
while
the
business
at
some
single
screens
[those
frequented
by
hardcore
masses]
was
not
befitting
a
biggie.
The
business
ranged
from
average
to
dull
at
places.
THIS
WEEK
IN
2004
[Weekend:
June
4-6,
2004]
Aan
took
a
good
start
at
several
centres,
but
the
collections
started
sliding
downwards
from
Day
2
[Saturday],
which
clearly
indicated
that
a
strong
face-value
can
attract
audiences
on
Day
1,
but
what
counts
eventually
is
the
content.
It's
simple:
No
substance,
no
audience!
While
the
opening
weekend
of
Aan
was
quite
impressive
in
Mumbai,
the
drop
in
the
b.o.
collections
from
Monday
onwards
must've
caught
its
distributors
unaware.
Even
at
key
stations
of
Gujarat
and
Maharashtra,
the
film
followed
a
similar
pattern.
