Salaam-e-ishq: no salaam though

So here is Nikhil Advani with a big booty of bollywood glitteratti enlightening the screen; not blazing though. but the movie is surely a paisa-vasool type, with good crisscrossing btw its many number of characters. A fine balance is kept through out, which hold the movie together a-piece, just about managing the star cruiser to the harbor safely without losing the fun.

“Salaam-E-Ishq was panned by critics and declared flop by the trade almost straight away but collections so far tell a different story. The film was released on around 200 cinemas on 25th January and opened to 60% response at multiplexes with single screens being 30%. The film picked up on Friday to record 85%+ at multiplexes and 65% at single screens through the weekend with Friday and Sunday being best days. The collections fell to around 50% at multiplexes on Monday but this does happen quite frequently to collections at multiplexes so only time will tell that is this the crash that the trade expected or just a regular post weekend drop. Mumbai and Delhi/UP saw best collections over the weekend and territories like CP Berar and Bihar which have just one multiplex between them were the poorest.“
