'Aaptha Mithra' marching towards 200-day mark

Bangalore, March 5 (IANS) It is "Aaptha Mithra" at the top again, and it is marching towards the 200-day mark.

1. "Aaptha Mithra": The film's collections touch Rs.1 million every week. In Bangalore city alone, the film may collect over Rs.30 million. At least in three centers, the film could run for a year.

2. "Ayya": The popularity of "Kalasi Palya" is being carried over to "Ayya" with action hero Darshan and glamorous Rakshitha leading the pack again. 'Ayya", directed by Om Prakash Rao, is the first film with Darshan in a police officer's role. The collections have crossed the Rs.5 million-mark in the first week from Bangalore city theatres.

3. "Mourya": The film has completed its 100-day run in 10 centers and now the prints have reached the B centers, where the collections have been encouraging. Its success has come as a big boost to producer Rockline Venkatesh.

4. "Kalasi Palya": The film is slated to complete a silver jubilee run in a theatre in Bangalore city soon. It is doing very well in the taluk (sub district) centers too, earning huge profits for the distributors. It is the biggest hit of Darshan.

5. "Rishi": The collections of this Shivaraj Kumar-Vijaya Raghavendra starrer, directed by Prakash, have not been spectacular all over the state, but good in urban centers. The film has proved too classy for semi-urban centers.
