The film is expected to continue its non-stop run this week, but in its third week, it will face a stiff competition from Salman Khan's "Kick." Meanwhile, the Marathi film "Lai Bhaari" starring Riteish Deshmukh in the lead role has been going strong in Maharashtra. The film's collection is so strong that distributors are not ready to reduce the show in single screens.

"Lai Bhaari," which features Khan in a cameo, is giving nightmares to "Kick" director Sajid Nadiadwala as the distributors have refused to pull out the shows of the Marathi film from the theaters.
