The response to DIL MAANGE MORE may be just about average at some theatres but the bosses at the newly opened INOX multiplex at Nariman point, are mighty pleased with the terrific opening that the film got at its multiplex chain in India. "The film is running to packed houses at our entire chain in Nariman point, Goa, Poona and Baroda.

It an indication that Shahid Kapur has arrived in a big way on the scene and is destined to go way ahead," says Arun Sharma, Programming Manager of INOX. According to Sharma, the film is likely to go strong for some more time till the release of the two biggies, ELAAN and INSAAN on January 21.

With BEWAFA and BLACK being postponed, the competition is now between ELAAN and INSAAN. Sharma is looking forward to the former. "As far as I know it is being rated as a modern-day ‘Sholay' by its distributors," he says.

Meanwhile, the advance booking for VAADA is said to be no great shakes, though the film is expected to take a good opening.
