BigB Yahoo Group: Re: [bigb] Bbuddah

I really think they should avoid this clash at any cost... The
audience must not be a divided lot.

A preferable way to release it is to release it 1 week after delhi
belly, and to not have any major release in the next week also, so as
to give it 2 weeks' free run...
