Midweek: 'J.B.J.' is on a decline!

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom	Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta, Lara Dutta	Great visuals	Poor script	Collections have slided downwards due to negative reports
Cheeni Kum	Amitabh Bachchan, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Zohra Sehgal, Swini Khara	Excellent performances and interesting post-interval portions	Repetitive and slow-paced in first hour	[multiplexes]
Shootout At Lokhandwala	Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, Arbaaz Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Rohit Roy, Aditya Lakhia, Shabbir Ahluwalia, Amrita Singh, Dia Mirza, Neha Dhupia, Aarti Chhabria, Abhishek Bachchan [sp. app.]	Razor-sharp execution and penultimate 25 minutes	Too violent
Fool N Final	Sunny Deol, Vivek Oberoi, Shahid Kapoor, Ayesha Takia, Sameera Reddy, Arbaaz Khan, Chunkey Pandey, Om Puri, Sharmila Tagore, Paresh Rawal, Johny Lever, Gulshan Grover	Great visuals and excellent comedy between Paresh Rawal - Johny Lever	Poor script
The Train	Emraan Hashmi, Geeta Basra, Sayali Bhagat, Aseem Merchant	Interesting twists-n-turns in the narrative	Second half could've been tighter

Reviews for JBJ weren't that good (some were brutal i.e. the Rediff one which completely wrote off most of the actors!) so I'm not surprised. It couldn't become the Dhoom 2 of this year. Maybe it will pick up..? 😕

Thx, JBJ chances were butchered from all the bad reviews but i think it will do better overseas as the references they use in the movie will catch on. Brits will like it.
