Midweek: ‘Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!’ dull, ‘Chennai Express’ gallops ahead!

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!	Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Sonali Bendre Behl, Sophie Choudhry, Sarfaraz Khan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Abhimanyu Singh, Pitobash, Hussain Shaikh, Mushtaq Khan, Chetan Hansraj	Some interesting moments in the post-interval portions. Competent performances. Powerful dialogue	Writing could've been sharper. Pales in comparison to its prequel	Despite being a sequel of a smash hit, the film has failed to live up to the massive expectations since the word of mouth is far from positive as well as the roadblock in the form of CHENNAI EXPRESS. The film started off well on Thursday, but was lower than Thursday on the remaining days [Friday to Sunday]. Collected approx Rs 40 cr+ nett in its opening weekend [inclusive of Thursday figures]
Chennai Express	Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, Sathyaraj, Nikitin Dheer, Lekh Tandon, Kamini Kaushal	An old-fashioned masala entertainer that works with lovers of unabashed entertainment	Gets predictable at times	Continued its victorious march. Although the business declined on Friday due to reduction in screen space and shows, besides a new release, the business gained momentum on Saturday and Sunday once again. Collected Rs 25.23 cr nett in Weekend 2. Breakup:- Week 1: 156.70 cr. Week 2: Fri 6.50 cr, Sat 8.51 cr, Sun 10.22 cr. Total: Rs 181.93 cr. Blockbuster
