Hello gets a favourable start

Hello, riding on Salman Khan's star power, managed a favourable start at several screens. The morning shows were respectable, although the business did slide downwards at places during the course of the day. The reports range from average to below average and it remains to be seen how the film performs on Saturday. Will it sustain or slide downwards, we'll know soon.

Meanwhile, both Kidnap and Drona, last week's biggies, remained on the lower side on Friday [the opening of the second week]... All eyes are on next week's Karzzzz and the industry is confident that this Himesh Reshammiya film would fetch a thunderous start at the box-office.
