"A Wendesday" is releasing with around 250 prints worldwide, and "Tahaan" with around 100 prints in India and it is also competing in different festivals around the world. No details were available about the prints of "Hijack".

In terms of budget, producers of "A Wendesday", UTV have invested around Rs.60 million including the marketing and distribution costs. Producers of "Tahaan" and "Hijack" refused to divulge any details about the budget of their films.

However, the distributors claim "A Wednesday" will be a clear winner among the three movies.

"There is no competition between the three movies. However, 'A Wednesday' looks a clear winner as it has already been hyped a lot due to UTVs promotion and has been much appreciated at the screenings too, " informed Joginder Mahajan, a Delhi-based distributor.

"All three films have different stories to tell. They are all very well directed. However, the business of the films would be affected due to Ramadan but a good film will always find its audience, " Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said.

Added Santosh Sivan: "All the films have an audience. The idea is to get a good release so that good visibility is ensured."
