123 takes 5th best opening of the year

ONE TWO THREE has turned out to be a box office success.

After being panned by the critics after Show One of the film's release, ONE TWO THREE managed to strike a chord with the audience, especially youth, who came in hordes to make the film a success. Result is that ONE TWO THREE, a medium budget film, has managed to collect more than 10 crores just from India in its first week.

This means that the film has taken the fifth highest opening of the year. While the top of the list is dominated by the likes of RACE (35 crores) and JODHAA AKBAR (25 crores), at no.3 and no.4 are SUNDAY (14 crores) and HALLA BOL (11.5 crores) respectively.

In a quarter dominated by flops, this multi starrer by a debutant director Ashwani Dheer has given Bollywood a reason to smile.
