While the clash is big enough, chances are both the films would do well. After all, the audiences have been starved of a good film for 3 weeks.

Box-Office battle: Wanted v/s Dil Bole Hadippa this Friday

After 3 weeks of back to back flop films, the box-office will finally see two big releases this Friday. Both, Salman Khan��s Wanted and Rani Mukherjee��s Dil Bole Hadippa are big in their own respect. Salman Khan has been going out of his way to promote Wanted like no other film. This remake of the Telugu blockbuster hit Pokiri has Salman Khan in a hardcore action role, something that he hasn��t done in a long long time. The hype on the film is considerably high and the opening week collections should be nothing short of the biggest amongst the year.
Yash Raj Film��s Dil Bole Hadippa starring Rani Mukherjee and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles is equally hot property. Rani Mukherjee��s diverse look from the Punjabi munda to the sexy-hot babe in bikini top has kept the film in constant public glare.
While the clash is big enough, chances are both the films would survive strongly at the box-office. The audiences haven��t seen a decent film in the past 3 weeks and should lap up both these releases.

Question: Which film will you watch the coming week �� Wanted or Dil Bole Hadippa? Leave your comments below...

Talking about business of the week gone by, the box-office hasn��t shown any smiley signs. Bobby Deol �� Kangana Ranaut starrer Vaada Raha came and left without any trace due to zilch promotions. Other flicks like Aamras, Ruslaan and the English films The Unforgettable and I Can��t Think Straight too couldn��t gain any audience. Comparatively Baabarr worked better at single screens especially in North India where the story of the film is set. The business at multiplexes is clearly dull though.
