http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Aamir-Khan-scores-Rs-90-crore-deal/articleshow/11696477.cms
This news was mainly to heat up the film among trade.
The next news item came after the promo was launched.This time the PR quoted ‘budget’ figures of 40 cr instead of selling price(90 cr).
http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Aamir-Khan-starrer-Talaash-s-1st-teaser-out/Article1-802823.aspx
The latest news item is funnier.This time they talked about how they have not sold the movie to (sub)distributors.The mistake on their part is that they gave quote of Reliance!
http://www.boxofficeindia.co.in/no-talaash-for-distributors/
So as things stand,Talaash which was made on a production budget of 40 cr was sold to Reliance at 90cr.Reliance however has not sold the rights to sub distributors and are waiting till the release period gets near.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu had a a good first week of around 31.50 crore nett. The film had an average start but picked up Saturday and had a strong Valentines Day on Tuesday. The collections fell in most circuits on Wednesday but Mumbai held up as Thursday was election holiday in Maharashtra so Wednesday evening was strong in Mumbai. Mumbai also held up on Thursday due to the holiday.
The film has done well in Mumbai, Delhi/UP, East Punjab and Mysore and around 80% of the business of the film has come from these four circuits.
The drop in collections after Valentines Day outside Mumbai circuit probably means that 50 crore nett business may be tough and a more realistic lifetime business total would be around 45 crore nett.

Ek Tha Deewana had a dull opening of 5-10% and will find it tough going. The other releases Married To America and Question Mark were no shows.

It will be practically like an open week for Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu as that film will lead this week and continue to collect well in metros although outside metros the collections will have a pretty big drop.

The business was a huge 80% higher than the previous day as multiplexes at all metros and tier one cities with most multiplexes recording better collections than the first day for the film. The jump was limited at places like CPCI and Rajasthan as the film has not gone down well with that audience.
