It is time to go beyond proclamations, claims, retorts and diatribe. The BO burrow is where all false gods falter, every Friday. Friday, Fly-day or Fry-day..? It depends on which end of the Six Pack chart you are!
B.O. Hall of Fame: 'Singh is Kinng' and 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' have been declared superhits and have been given a place of honour, above the 6-pack chart.

1. Amitabh Bachchan: To B or not to B!
 |
In 'The Last Lear', it is the Big B, all the way. He nourishes the movie and builds it up to a point where it is hard to distinguish the actor from the subject. Well, that has always been the USP of Amitabh Bachchan. 'The Last Lear' will go down in the Bachchan resume as one of his best performances to date!
Directed by Rituparno Ghosh, 'The Last Lear'is the celebration of a larger-than-life personality who is consumed by his art.
Says Deepa Gahlot: ''There comes a time in an actor's career when he gets a role that his whole career seems to have led towards, and 'The Last Lear' is that watershed in Amitabh Bachchan's career. Only he could have played the part of a crotchety old Shakespearean actor, contemptuous of the world of films and modern life balancing the theatricality of the character with an unmissable poignancy. And what a voice, what delivery and what an imposing presence.''
There was lot of pre-release publicity for this Amitabh Bachchan movie, thanks to MNS jingoism, but it has not exactly set the cash registers ringing, in the first week. The B.O. reports do not boast of a good opening.
