Even Shallu ke thumke couldn't save save Bin Bulaye Baraati and it become flop. Bhindi Bazaar went unnoticed and the much hyped Shahrukh Khan production's Always Kabhi Kabhi proved to be a disaster on box-office. All of the three were not able to cross 3 crore mark.

Now lets talk about another brand Salman Khan, despite being in third week his movie Ready was able to make a collection of 13 crore which is higher than the combined collection of 5 movies Bheja Fry-2, Always Kabhi Kabhi, Bhindi Bazaar, Bin Bulaaye Baraati, Cycle Kick.
