The most severely affected project is Pankaj Kapoor’s Mausam, which was meant to start with a brief schedule last month in Scotland.

As things stand today, 'Kites' should take one of the biggest opening of the year so far. There is no reason why this Hrithik Roshan starrer shouldn't find itself in the same bracket as 'Housefull' and 'My Name Is Khan', the two films that have hovered around the 30 crore mark as far as the first weekend collections in India are concerned. While it is a given that Hrithik will break the record of 'Dhoom 2' as far as opening is concerned, it has to be seen that what kind of distance does the film travels after the first weekend euphoria is over.

Hrithik Roshan proved a real and literal traffic-stopper in New York on Sunday night when all traffic was halted for him to sprint across 42nd Street to meet his fans.
