To begin with, mildly speaking, the past weekend&rsquo;s collections at the box-office didn&rsquo;t inspire awe. Or business. <img alt="'Ram Leela'" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Ram-Leela_3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 432px;" /> &#39;Ram Leela&#39; poster Pic/Santa Banta Only two Hindi films released along with an equal number of Hollywood counterparts. None of the four registered stunning figures. Slow remained the key word throughout.u00a0 <img alt="For a Karan Johar production, Gori Tere PyAar Mein failed to garner a lot of attention" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Gori-Tere-Pyaar-Mein.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 385px;" /> For a Karan Johar production, &#39;Gori Tere Pyaar Mein&#39; failed to garner a lot of attention While Singh Saab the Great managed a bigger haul than Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, it was average at best. According to trade analyst Komal Nahta, Bollywood had a disappointing weekend. <img alt="'Singh Saab The Great'" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Singh-Saab-The-Great_3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 417px;" /> &#39;Singh Saab The Great&#39;u00a0Pic/Santa Banta &ldquo;The Sunny Deol-starrer grossed about Rs 14 crore while the Imran Khan-Kareena Kapoor film barely crossed Rs 9.5 crore. Both the films have been made at a budget north of Rs 42 crore so for a first weekend, the numbers are dismal,&rdquo; says Nahta. Lack of buzz might have done considerable damage to Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. &ldquo;The idea for a KJo film is to grab as many eyeballs as possible. But in this particular case, that wasn&rsquo;t what happened. Friday dragged, Saturday picked up a bit and Sunday was bit of a breezer. Similarly, director Anil Sharma hasn&rsquo;t created the magic he did with Sunny in Gadar more than a decade ago,&rdquo; points out Amod Mehra, trade analyst, before adding, &ldquo;That said, Singh Saab is doing better in small screens than at multiplexes.&rdquo; On the contrary Ram-Leela gained traction even in its second week and is said to be heading towards the fabled Rs 100 crore club. &ldquo;I think it&rsquo;d be extraordinary for Ranveer Singh because he hasn&rsquo;t been part of a Rs 100 crore film before. Deepika (Padukone) is a regular member of the so-called club now,&rdquo; adds Nahta. Exhibitor Rajesh Thadani sums up the week as disappointing overall. &ldquo;There was a cluster and maybe that&rsquo;s why none of the films could come up as sole winner. We can&rsquo;t blame Hollywood either because both Last Vegas and Battle of the Year were both dismal at the box-office,&rdquo; sums up Thadani. On the coming Friday, Saif Ali Khan-starrer Bullett Raja will go head-to-head with two Hollywood animation films: Frozen and Delivery Man.u00a0
