"It's interesting to note how all our films are releasing in the same month. I'm delighted but I must say whatever be the outcome, I am very proud to be a part of Raat Gayi Baat Gayi," said Neha, who had won the Miss India crown in 2002.

The songs of the film are already among the chartbusters and youngsters are going ga-ga about Priyanka's look in Pyaar Impossible.

Even Sushmita's Dulha Mil Gaya, which also releases next Friday, is much awaited, specially due to superstar Shah Rukh Khan's extended cameo in the movie. The film narrates the story of four individuals, each with a different take on relationships.

Apart from Sushmita, who won the Miss Universe title in 1994, the film features Fardeen Khan and newcomer Mohit Chaddha.

However, Raat Gayi Baat Gayi and Accident On Hill Road are not being received with much fanfare at the box office.

Saurabh Shukla and features Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey have directed Raat Gayi Baat Gayi. It is about how a one-night stand with a mystery woman affects three marriages.

On the other hand, Accident On Hill Road is a thriller helmed by debutant director Mahesh Nair. It is apparently adapted from Hollywood flick Stuck.

So watch out for the bevy of beauties... coming to a theatre near you.
