'Guzaarish' is standing on a loosing ground at the box office. The film couldn't even garner a 50% opening which means this mighty expensive dream of Sanjay Leela Bhansali was on a huge back foot right from its very first show. The very aspects of the film which were the usual suspects - a surreal world, situational music and the mercy killing theme - and were always expected to work only with select audience (mainly belonging to A centres) came into focus all over again.

Result? The film is being loved by those who were sold with this idea by Bhansali. However, the rest - the 'aam junta' - was not too enticed about stepping into the theaters itself.

This means that the collections were quite low and far lesser than the 30 crores opening weekend of 'Kites'. With a mere 15 crores coming in the first weekend, 'Guzaarish' is on a shaky ground as a lot is on stake here.

The current week is open though next week there would be competition (to a fair degree) from 'Break Ke Baad'. No wonder, it is currently a wait and watch situation though there is very minimal possibility of turnaround in the film's fortunes.

As for the other releases of the week, they were truly lifeless, as was apparent in near 0% collections evidenced on the very first day. 'Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu' would easily hold the distinction of being one of the most pointless and lacklustre films to have hit the screens this year.

On the other hand 'Deewangee Ne Had Kar Di' didn't fare any better. A C grade film which was relegated to the cans for over a year and had no known names, production values, set up or story to boast about, the film found a sparse release in only select pockets of the country. With near 0% footfalls welcoming the film, 'Deewangee Ne Had Kar Di' turned out to be yet another disaster at the box office this year.
