| Despite the poor box-office run of the new films in 2009, there are as maany as four new movies listed for release this Friday. The list includes - Nandita Das`s `Firaag`, the Raja Menon directed `Barah Aana`, Vinay Pathak starrer `Straight` and Robby Grewal`s `Aloo Chaat`. While none of them look like blockbuster material but `Aloo Chaat` has the capacity to surprise, thanks to some slick promos, while the award winning `Firaaq` may appeal to the elite audience. |
