For Akshay Kumar, the collections of 1999's last release -- Jaanwar -- was the most heartening news in 2000.

Jaanwar became the biggest ever blockbuster of Bihar.

But Akshay didn't deliver any hit in 2000.

Hera Pheri scored in Bombay and Maharashtra, but in most of the other circuits, it bombed.

Dhadkan took a dull start outside of Bombay but its superhit music saw the film do exciting business in Bombay and Southwards mainly.

The year-end gave Akshay the biggest jhatka with the bombing of Khiladi 420 -- even in Bihar.
