Amit Awasthi, manager (programming and operations) of Spice Cinemas at Noida, is, however, disappointed with the initial business.

'Opening for both the movies has been average only around 50 percent... none of the shows for either has been houseful since the morning despite having 22 shows for '...Hadippa!' and 14 shows for 'Wanted' across all our eight screens,' said Awasthi.

'But 'Wanted' is better than '...Hadippa!' and we are hoping the movies will pick up momentum over the long weekend. They will also have a good run of almost two weeks,' he added.

Said Amit Shah, chief manager (programming) of DLF DT cinemas: ' 'Dil Bole Hadippa!' has done an average business of 45 percent vis-a-vis 'Wanted' that has brought in only 30 percent despite having close to 10 shows each for both the movies. We are, however, hoping the business to pull up Friday evening onwards as there are three holidays coming up.'

The multiplexes are confident that both the movies will maintain a 'healthy' run on the big screen despite Ashutosh Gowariker's 'What's Your Raashee?' releasing Sep 25.

''Dil Bole Hadippa' and 'Wanted' won't get affected despite 'What's Your Rashee?,' said Raizada.

''...Raashee?' is a long movie spanning around three-and-half hours so we won't be able to organise that many shows for it. We'll have to fill in the space with others and considering the other two are already A-listers, they'll have a smooth stretch,' he added.
