Bollywood 'has successful start to 2011'

The first four releases of 2011 have opened to positive reviews from audiences and critics.

No One Killed Jessica, Yamla Pagla Deewana, Turning 30 and Dhobi Ghat have all performed well at the box office, reports IANS.

Amit Awasthi from Spice Cinemas commented on the continuing success of No One Killed Jessica: "People are really appreciating the content as well as the acting by both Rani and Vidya. The occupancy is still 83%."

Comic film Yamla Pagla Deewana has also defied expectations from its theatrical release.

Speaking about the Dharmendra, Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol project, Yogesh Raizada of Wave Cinemas said: "The Deol family has a good fan-following that is pulling crowds."

In 2010, the Hindi film industry classified less than ten releases as 'hits'.
