Ek Aur Ek Gyarah [Delhi-U.P., Bihar; dull elsewhere]
Fun2shh [better in Mumbai]
Hawayein [best in Punjab, Overseas; dull elsewhere]
Janasheen [Commission to Overflow in some circuits]
Joggers' Park [best in Mumbai, Delhi; average elsewhere]
Jhankaar Beats [best in Mumbai]
Jaal - The Trap [best in U.P.; dull elsewhere]
Kuch Naa Kaho [best in Mumbai; dull elsewhere]
Note:- 'L.O.C.' has not been included in the classification since it has just released last week and the trends would be clear after 2 weeks.
No universal blockbuster in 1999:
Believe it or not, there's been no single universal blockbuster in 1999. Quite unlike Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998. Or Ishq and Dil To Pagal Hai in 1997. Or Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge in 1996.
Hum Saath-Saath Hain is, of course, 1999's biggest grosser, but its business has not been consistent throughout the country. It is a huge hit in C P Berar (includes part of Maharashtra and part of Madhya Pradesh), Nizam (part of Andhra Pradesh and part of Maharashtra), C I (central India, which includes part of MP) and Rajasthan, but in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and West Bengal, it's just about a hit. So its business in some circuits may be more than that of KKHH, but may be less than the '98 mega hit in other circuits.
Biwi No 1 was the other 1998 hit. But the film bombed in West Bengal and was an average grosser in C I.
