The
two
new
releases,
Luck
By
Chance
and
Victory,
had
a
slow
start
on
Friday
in
India.
What
comes
as
a
surprise
is
the
fact
that
the
two
films
were
well-publicized
prior
to
their
release.
Luck
By
Chance
started
on
a
25%
-
30%
note
at
plexes,
while
Victory
was
10%
to
20%
at
several
screens.
Luck
By
Chance
has
an
advantage
of
a
strong
word
of
mouth
and
glowing
reviews
by
the
English
media
in
India,
which
should
help
the
film
consolidate
its
position
over
the
weekend.
The
exhibitors
are
hopeful
that
the
business
should
pick
up
from
Friday
evening
onwards.
Victory
isn't
carrying
positive
reports
and
the
word
of
mouth
is
strictly
average/below
average.
Also,
the
reviews
are
far
from
flattering
and
that
makes
its
survival
chances
remote,
unless
a
miracle
occurs.
