Bol	Humaima Malik, Manzar Sehbai, Atif Aslam, Mahira Khan, Shafqat Cheema, Zaib Rehman	An exceptional film with incredible performances	Dips in the middle of the second hour	Got affected due to the BODYGUARD wave.

That Girl In Yellow Boots	Kalki, Naseeruddin Shah, Prashant Prakash, Gulshan Devaiah, Kumud Mishra, Shiv Subramaniam, Makrand Deshpande, Ronit Roy, Piyush Mishra, Rajat Kapoor, Hansal Mehta, Divya Jagdale	Is Anurag Kasyap's best effort	Caters to a niche audience	Like BOL, got affected due to the BODYGUARD wave.
