Of the three new releases last Friday, Waiting happened to be the one people looked forward to thanks to Naseeruddin Shah in the lead. Alas, the box office collections did not show any appreciation in Shah and the film remained a very limited grosser barely managing to cross the Rscrore mark in its opening weekend. It collected Rs1.3 crore.
Phobia, a less publicized film blending horror with Agoraphobia, stayed poor. It managed just about Rs1.4 crore for its opening weekend.
Veerappan, an outdated story about the sandalwood mafia run by Veerappan in the jungles of Mysore, finds some footfalls at single screens. The film has collectedRs4.75 crore for its first weekend.
Fredrick passed unnoticed.
