From the past
HALLA BOL is now breathing it's last. One expected some revival with BOMBAY TO BANGKOK being a weak competition in the second week of this Rajkumar Santoshi film but that didn't quite happen after a below average first week. Suffering a 70% fall and only 3.5 crores more, HALLA BOL now stands at 15 crores with little chances of any further money inflow. With Mumbai getting 40 lakhs and Delhi another 35 lakhs, the film has seen a sharp drop everywhere. Could Sunny Deol in Pankaj Kapoor's role have salvaged the film? Probably yes, but for that a Santoshi-Deol reconcilation has to happen first!

HALLA BOL crashed further in the third week and is now on the verge of disappearing completely from theaters. A 80% fall meant that now the film would end at close to 16 crores. Last week got only 75 lakhs home hence bringing the total to 15.5 crores. Though there are murmurs around Ajay Devgan coming up with yet another National Award worthy act, it sounds overtly ambitious. But if one asks if this is one of the most worthy acts of Ajay Devgan, the answer to that is a firm YES! ...
