Saw it at the Imax in Bombay today. Good print. Loud sound. 75% full at 7.30 show.
It's plot hole city and really a half baked script. A list Hrithik in a B-C grade film (overall, technically A minus). It was fun nonetheless. The Russian roulette scene was the best followed by the the opening scene concerning this old 'woman'. Ha, very funny.

Saw it at the Imax in Bombay today. .

Any idea when they screen films in I-Max theatre if they are blown up 70mm or blown up I-Max prints ?? Or, do they use just regular 35mm print projected on to -Max size screen ??

Films like Harry Potter, Star Wars etc are often screened in I-Max theatres, but are they really on an upgrade film too ??

The first week collections have left the trade spellbound with the film breaking all records. The film is mind boggling in the North. Delhi/UP/East Punjab has had a very limited multiplex release and the film has not only had record shares in first week but gone into second week with 90% collections. The rest of the country stood at 75% on 8th day. The film will be the biggest net grosser in history and may even challenge the record 45 crore share of Gadar. First week nett business is between 32-35 crore.
