The coming Friday will witness the release of Ram Gopal Varma's SATYA 2 and the Pushkar Jog directed HUFF – IT'S TOO MUCH. Needless to add that irrespective of the merits/demerits of the two films, both will be blown away by the KRRISH 3 wave!
Coming to Rakesh Roshan's Hrithik, Priyanka and Vivek starrer, KRRISH 3, after a great weekend (given the dull pre-diwali phase), the film came into its own Monday onwards, creating the best single day record (33 crore), beating SRK's CHENNAI EXPRESS and Salman's EK THA TIGER. The film also crossed the 100 crore mark on the same day (Monday). With the kids and families coming out in hordes to watch the film, sky is the limit for KRRISH in the real sense! KRRISH 3 has also made a mark in the overseas grossing $4m with ?409,000 from UK and $1,050,500 from the US, during the opening weekend (1-3 November).
