Vishal Bhardwaj has given another breath for breathless bollywood with huge success. His ‘Kaminey’ has hit the bull’s eye, hence continuing applause for Bollywood, which has now seen fourth big money spinner in a row.

Even though the movie didn’t release in Mumbai and Pune, two major centers for any Bollywood movie to succeed in a major way, ‘Kaminey’ has marched along powerfully. In it’s opening weekend itself, the movie has netted 17 crores, hence ensuring that Shahid Kapoor now has his biggest opening ever. It holds good for Vishal Bhardwaj too, who now has a genuine HIT in hands after critically acclaimed ‘Omkara’, ‘The Blue Umbrella’, ‘Maqbool’ and ‘Makdee’.

What’s working extremely in the favor of ‘Kaminey’ is the fact that it’s target audience, i.e. youth, is patronizing the movie in a big way. Also the movie has broken the class barrier as it is working across A, B and C centers with not just multiplexes but also single screens showing a positive response.

Furthermore, unlike number of movies that open with a bang and then start going down as weekdays progress, ‘Kaminey’ has been holding steady with tremendously strong word-of-mouth and all around positive reviews keeping this thriller going strong day-after-day, show-after-show! With the movie finally opening in Mumbai on Monday, there is a renewed vigor in the film’s collections, which is going to come handy to first week’s collections.

In the meantime ‘Life Partner’ is fighting it out at the box office and is finding support amongst family audiences, particularly the interiors. With close to 7 crores coming in the first weekend, this medium budget film has gained decent reviews and word-of-mouth. Considering the fact that the next big releases, ‘Dil Bode Hadippa’ and ‘Wanted’, arrive a month from now, it is only a happy situation for this Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor and Fardeen Khan starrer that should be able to consolidate it’s place at the box office in weeks to come.

With the success of ‘Kaminey’ and survival of ‘Life Partner’, Bollywood can at last heave a sigh of relief.
