<p>“'Ajab Prem Ki...' has got a terrific initial thanks to the star cast but it will suffer on the content part. While 'Jail' has had a very slow opening...that of only around 20 percent. Shelf life for both movies is only limited till Monday,” Joginder Mahajan, a Delhi-based distributor told IANS. <br /><br />Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Ramesh S. Taurani, “Ajab Prem Ki...” also has superstar Salman Khan in a special appearance. <br />On the other hand, “Jail” has been co-produced by Percept Picture Company and Bhandarkar Entertainment and is the story of a common man who lands up in prison for unknown reasons. Starring Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mugdha Godse in the lead, it also has Manoj Bajpai in a pivotal role. <br /><br />“'Ajab Prem Ki...' has got a tremendous opening. It is a totally entertaining movie for both classes and masses and a complete family watch with good acting, fast tempo and nice packaging. Audiences are loving it,” said a source from Big Cinemas.<br />“'Jail', however, deals with serious issues. Though Madhur Bhandarkar has proven his mettle with the film, the box office success of this one is doubtful as a family would think twice before watching it,” the source added.<br /><br />Yogesh Raizada, corporate head, Wave Cinemas, has a different opinion.<br />“The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer has got an average occupancy of above 80 percent and that is obvious because of the comedy and romance element. But despite a 40 percent start, 'Jail' is very strong on content and is being appreciated a lot by the audiences and critics both,” said Raizada.<br /><br />“Both movies should at least extend for one weekend without fail. 'Jail' will definitely pick up Saturday onwards despite being only for a niche clientèle,” he added.</p>
