October 27, 2010 : While Rakta Charitra may have scored over Jhootha Hi Sahi during the opening weekend, the latest verdict from Bollywood says that the John Abraham starrer has acquired extra notches over the last few days, so much so that the total collections from Jhootha Hi Sahi have gone past that of Rakta Charitra! Media reports claim that while the RGV production did well down south, Abbas Tyrewala ruled in the north.
With three films releasing on the same Friday, a cut-throat competition was on its way. And while critics have vehemently slammed Mallika Sherawat’s Hisss act, it has not been too bad for either Vivek Oberoi or John Abraham. But while the Ram Gopal Verma production attracted more attention because of the violence projected in the film and the political hiatus surrounding its characters, Abbas Tyrewala has surely proved himself as the tortoise who ultimately wins the race.
Jhootha Hi Sahi had garnered a total of Rs. 1.5 crore on the first day of screening, a paltry sum when compared to the huge budget with which the film was made, but nevertheless things have been improving over the past few days. Rakta Charitra, on the other hand, got a collection of only a crore on the opening day. Both films are reportedly not doing well in the UK box office too.
