| Film | Cast | Plusses | Minusses | Verdict |
Delhi-6 | Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor, Om Puri, Pawan Malhotra, Amitabh Bachchan [sp. app.] | A.R. Rahman's music | Tends to get preachy, boring and monotonous. Uninspiring screenplay with a terrible ending | After a slow Friday, the film picked up well at multiplexes of metros and mini-metros on Saturday and Sunday. The occupancy was in the 60% - 80% range at plexes over the weekend. At single screens, it was a shocking contrast. The weekend numbers across single screens were 15% - 20%. Monday is part holiday at places, so the business is likely to be decent at those places. Since the feedback is negative, it is unlikely that the film will sustain from Tuesday onwards. According to most distributors/exhibitors this writer spoke to across all circuits [unlike terribly informed sources who take all concocted reports from concerned distributors and reproduce them verbatim], the business will be lower than DOSTANA, but higher than DRONA. But the heavy price is a big, big issue |
Dev D | Shah Rukh Khan, Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta, Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav, Rasika Joshi | Well-made film with an excellent emotional ending | Could've done away with a few songs | Below average |
Dev D | Abhay Deol, Mahi Gill, Kalki | A few individualistic scenes and tuneful music | Second hour loses focus. Gets too abstract | Best at some multiplexes of big centres. Flop in several circuits |
Luck By Chance | Farhan Akhtar, Konkona Sen Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Juhi Chawla, Isha Sharwani, Sanjay Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan [sp. app.] | Presents the inside view of the film industry remarkably | Difficult to find | Flop |
The Stoneman Murders | Kay Kay Menon, Arbaaz Khan, Rukhsaar, Vikram Gokhale, Virendra Saxena | An interesting plot, with a gripping second hour | End is not too convincing | Flop | |
