Bollywood
has
witnessed
a
lackluster
beginning
at
the
Box
Office
in
2013.
Although
several
biggies
have
hit
the
marquee
in
the
first
two
weeks
of
the
year,
none
is
successful
in
making
it
big
at
the
ticket
windows.
The
third
week
witnessed
three
new
releases
like
Inkaar,
Mumbai
Mirror
and
Bandook,
but
all
of
them
have
opened
to
a
dull
response
at
the
Indian
collection
centres
on
the
first
day.
Inkaar
and
Mumbai
Mirror
are
two
much-hyped
and
much-awaited
Hindi
movies.
Since
there
were
no
big
regional
releases
either
in
North
or
South
India,
they
were
expected
to
open
to
a
grand
response
at
the
domestic
Box
Office.
But
both
Bollywood
movies
have
failed
to
reach
the
expectations
of
the
viewers.
On
the
first
day,
Inkaar
starring
Arjun
Rampal
and
Chitrangada
Singh
in
leads,
has
received
better
response
when
compared
to
other
new
releases
Mumbai
Mirror
and
Bandook.
The
Sudhir
Mishra
directed
flick
has
registered
little
better
footfalls
in
some
select
multiplexes
than
in
single
screens.
But
overall,
its
occupancy
is
below
the
expected
mark.
It
needs
to
show
a
big
jump
over
the
weekend
to
recover
its
production
cost.
Whereas
Aazaan
fame
Sachiin
Joshi's
Mumbai
Mirror
and
Bandook
have
registered
very
poor
occupancy
across
the
country.
They
need
a
miraculous
growth
in
their
business
to
sustain
in
the
coming
days.
However,
old
release
Matru
Ki
Bijlee
Ka
Mandola,
Seethamma
Vakitlo
Sirimalle
Chettu,
Naayak
and
Saadi
Love
Story
have
once
again
become
the
first
choice
for
many
movie
goers
in
different
regional
areas
in
the
country.
