Shabana's web fails to move Deewangee from top spot

Mentioned below are listed the most recent films that average good openings. The film that performs best in the current week merits listing at the top. BO verdict for these films may differ regardless of the opening.

Having stayed at the top for five weeks, Anees Bazme's Deewangee, refuses to budge garnering 50 per cent collections at the box-office. While the newly released children's film opens to a meagre 50 per cent.

Clearly this kiddy film starring Shabana Azmi in the garb of a terryifying witch has managed to spook the viewers away.
