Mumbai, Oct 7 (PTI) The festive season for Bollywood began on a rather low note with Sanjay Dutt-Imran Khan starrer 'Kidnap' and Abhishek Bachchan's 'Drona' failing to enthuse film buffs. Trade analyst Amod Mehra said the first week collections for 'Drona' were about 30 per cent while for 'Kidnap' it was 60 per cent.

Trade sources said collections have dipped with the commencement of the second week.

"Expectations were high. Especially 'Drona' was a solo hero film and an important one for Abhishek Bachchan's career. However, the script could not hold on," another trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh added.

Adarsh said there was no need to panic in view of the two films not doing well.

All eyes have now shifted to films like 'Hello', 'Karzzz' that will release in the next two weeks and later 'Heroes', 'Golmaal returns', 'Fashion', 'EMI', and 'Roadside Romeo' that will hit theatres during the Diwali festivities, he said.

"Trade reports for all these big budgeted films are good. But, we will have to wait and watch," Taran added.
