| Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor, Boman Irani, Omi | An outstanding, incredible, superb film in all respects | Difficult to find | Has had an earth-shattering, mind-boggling weekend. 'Ghajini' opened on Wednesday [previews] and its total for 4.5 days was approx. Rs. 39 crores. '3 Idiots' opened on Thursday [previews] and its total for 3.5 days would exceed Rs. 40 crores, as per early indications. It is the biggest opener ever |
Paa | Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Paresh Rawal, Arundhati Naag | Performances by every member of its cast, especially Amitabh Bachchan as Auro, plus R. Balki's sensitive direction | Script could've been tighter [the political track doesn't work] | Hit, on the basis of its excellent business at plexes. Plus, the revenue generated from non-theatrical avenues [Satellite] has helped recover its reasonable costs |

| Ranbir Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Mukesh Bhatt, D. Santosh, Gauhar Khan, Naveen Kaushik, Manish Chaudhari, Shazahn Padamsee | Excellent performances | Caters to a niche audience. Plus, devoid of entertainment | One of the biggest disappointments of 2009 |
