PAL PAL DIL KE PAAS, PRASSTHANAM and THE ZOYA FACTOR all fared very poorly on the first day with former having the best collections. The film was the launchpad of the son of Sunny Deol but has not found an audience and its difficult to see the film going anywhere from this sort of start. It should show growth on Saturday but the only real target is to come out the best of the new releases and they are a poor bunch.

PRASSTHANAM was next best as the film did better in single screens though they were still poor. The collections in the multiplexes were a total disaster. It is a remake of a South film but it still looked like a South film except there was Sanjay Dutt.

THE ZOYA FACTOR was the worst of the lot as mentioned yesterday. PAL PAL DIL KE PAAS and PRASSTHANAM have probably gone wrong in execution (unless they show huge turnarounds) but this film should not have even made as it would have be disaster even if executed well. The film has nothing for the audience apart for the audience in Kerala. The film picked up 7 lakhs nett in Kerala although more was expected as the actor in the film has some value there but this 7 lakh is still better than what films like DREAM GIRL and CHHICHHORE did on day one. Take away Kerala and the collections are an even bigger disaster.

The first day collections of the three films are as follows.
Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas: 1.1-1.2 crore
Prassthanam: 75-80 lakhs
The Zoya Factor: 65-70 lakhs
