The sole Hindi release of the week, UGLI AUR PAGLI, was expected to start well, in the 65%-75% range because of various factors:-
a] The eye-catching promos had created a strong buzz for the film;
b] Post PYAAR KE SIDE EFFECTS, people were expecting another interesting urban fare;
c] A song from the film, 'Talli', had become extremely popular;
d] Mallika Sherawat's tremendous popularity amongst youth, the college crowd specially.
But despite being a solo release, UGLI AUR PAGLI opened to a 30%-35% start, which is way below expectations. However, the reports are far from encouraging, so the business is expected to slide downwards in days to come.
