Midweek B.O.: '7 Khoon Maaf' is below expectations
| Film | Cast | Plusses | Minusses | Verdict |
7>
| Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan Khan, Aleksandr Dyachenko, Annu Kapoor, Vivaan Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma, Usha Uthup | Priyanka Chopra's performance and a few interesting episodes | Script doesn't hold | Collected approx. Rs. 11.53 cr nett in its opening weekend, which is below the mark. The breakup:- Fri 3.30 cr, Sat 3.51, Sun 4.72 cr. The film started slow on Friday, showed no major jump on Saturday, but was better on Sunday. However, given the number of screens in circulation, besides no major opposition to contend with, the film should've grossed at least Rs. 15 cr + in its first three days |
Patiala>
| Akshay Kumar, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Anushka Sharma, Armaan Kirmani, Jeneva Talwar, Usman Qureshi, Tinnu Anand, Prem Chopra, Soni Razdan | Akshay Kumar's performance, dramatic moments and penultimate portions | Screenplay is erratic | Had a drastic fall in its second weekend. Distributors who have acquired the film even at reasonable prices will lose a chunk of their investment. Theatrical business -- Flop |
Yeh>
| Irrfan Khan, Chitrangda Singh, Arunoday Singh, Aditi Rao Hydari, Saurabh Shukla, Sushant Singh, Vipin Sharma, Yashpal Sharma, Prashant Narayanan, Vipul Gupta | A taut screenplay that ensures monotony doesn't set in. Plus, super performances from the entire cast. Also, Sudhir Mishra's handling of the subject material | Inconsistent pacing and a few unwanted sequences that add to the length | Theatrical business -- Above average |
Dil>
| Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Shraddha Das, Shruti Haasan, Tisca Chopra, Mukesh Tiwari, Aditya Raj Kapoor, Rituparna Sengupta, Harward Rosemeyer | Camaraderie between Ajay, Emraan and Omi and the unpredictable storyline, post intermission | Writing could be tighter, better finale and excessive length | Theatrical business -- Average |
Yamla>
| Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Kulraj Randhawa, Anupam Kher, Johny Lever, Nafisa Ali, Sucheta Khanna, Amit Mistry, Mukul Dev, Himanshu Malik, Puneet Issar, Emma Brown Garrett, Ajay Devgn [voiceover] | Watching the Deols in one frame. Plus, a captivating second half | First half is sloppy. Romantic portions don't work | Hit |
Note:- The opening weekend of KACCHA LIMBOO and MASTI EXPRESS was disastrous.
