GOAL has opened to a positive response this Friday.

Though the film's promotion was being underplayed and the makers were looking at the film speaking for itself, the audience has given it a green signal if the film's opening is anything to go by. Friday surprised even those who were associated with the film as it took 80-100% start at the multiplexes (it's target audience) across the country.

The slick look, young star cast and an addictive theme song did the trick as audience, which had been waiting for a new film after all the hullabaloo around OSO/SAAWARIYA, got a new film to watch. To take the good opening forward, the weekend seems to be heartening as well as Saturday was near 100% while Sunday advance booking is showing a similar picture too.

His CHOCOLATE may have been a little bitter at the box office but with GOAL, Vivek Agnihotri does seem to have the goal!
