[Alarico Boyett]

Thefilm, its makers announced, grossed a worldwide sum of over Rs 80 crore on its very first day. Similar box office results are expected over the weekend. "The Tamil film Ponniyin Selvan is done decent business in Hindi as it collected in the 1.75-2 crore nett range in Hindi and there was another 85 lakh nett coming from the Tamil version in Hindi circuits. These are fair numbers for a dubbed film with a name like this and pretty much no face value or music," reports Box Office India.

"The film has scored huge in South states with its home state Tamil Nadu looking at an an opening which is among its the biggest ever in the state and should be among the top three or four films with collections around the 22 crore nett mark," the report adds.

'Ponniyin Selvan', the first part of the two-part film, is a brilliant story that is based on the early life of prince Arun Mozhi Varman, who later went on to be known as the great Raja Raja Chozhan. Called by Mani Ratnam as his dream project, the film features a host of top stars including actors Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Jayaram, Parthiban, Lal, Vikram Prabhu, Jayaram, Prabhu and Prakash Raj.

Trade experts assert the year has been a mixed bag so far, with the Salman Khan-powered Ready emerging as the biggest blockbuster so far. In a three part series, here's our first on the hits that rocked the ticket counters

Trade analyst Atul Mohan solely credits the superstar for its fantastic business, "Salman's magic was the only reason for its success because he was coming after Dabangg and the two chartbusters only added to the success.

There's no greater proof of this than Indra Kumar's sequel to Dhamaal which contained infinitely better jokes. But never mind. Sparing nobody right from taking potshot at Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's Guzaarish to doing spoofs on popular actors Double Dhamaal clicked big-time.

Critics, as usual, extended a ferocious thumb-down but in theatres, the audience went berserk with laughter. Atul feels the brand Dhamaal helped its sequel. "The marketing marred the films prospects," he says, adding, "I couldn't figure out why Reliance (Entertainment) went in for low-key marketing for this one. Had the promotion been better, the film would have raked in more for sure."

The first outing of the Deols since Apne, this enjoyable comedy had all the right ingredients and expectedly, it made the moolah. Taran Adarsh, trade analyst, points out that it's a misconception that the film fared well only in North India.

The first hit of the year, this Rani Mukerji-Vidya Balan starrer backed by the sheer girl power, took up the issue of the Jessica Lall murder case. Riding on a wave of positive word-of-mouth, the Raj Kumar Gupta-directed drama wowed the audience.

Atul believes that happened because it tackled an issue which was gaining so much support across the country and that the film couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. Made on a budget of Rs 9 crore, No One Killed Jessica combined hard-hitting message with entertainment.

Of late, Ekta Kapoor seems to be acquired that great gift of choosing the right projects. Inspired by the monster hit Paranormal Activity, Ragini MMS featured unknown names yet this small-budget thriller managed to make its mark.

Says Atul, "Balaji (Ekta's film production company) continued the strategy adopted during Love Sex Aur Dhokha and churned out another steamy success. Only this time they hiked the budget in marketing and it paid off more than expected."

In the season of spook, Haunted emerged a surprise winner. Vikram Bhatt's scare-fest in 3D had the audience lapping it up. Yet again, despite not having any big draw (it starred Mimoh, Mithun Chakraborty's son who had earlier been written off in Jimmy) the film did reasonably well.

Meant to be a relaunch vehicle for sonny Jackky, money-bags Vashu Bhagnani's campus caper didn't turn out to be such a hopeless exercise after all. The song, Char Baj Gaye, gave the film a much-needed, pre-release push.

Inspired by the films of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji was expected to carry forward their legacy. While it invited mixed reviews from the press, its box office collections weren't that bad.

Wife Kiran Rao's debut, bunching together the lives of different individuals and how it collides, Dhobi Ghat upon its release instantly wowed the critics. It was somehow expected to draw praise from the press but there were doubts whether the film would work business-wise.

However, strong, positive word spread around like a wild fire making Dhobi Ghat a sound commercial prospect. Aamir's belief in his projects -- no matter however experimental -- proved that it is films from the heart that work.
