Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
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	Despite appreciation, the numbers are missing. Ideally, the film should have collected at least Rs. 20 cr nett in its opening weekend, but the film has collected approx. Rs. 15.25 cr nett in its first three days. The film collected approx. Rs. 4.10 cr on Friday, showed a 20%-25% jump on Saturday by collecting Rs. 5.05 cr, but didn't show a massive jump on Sunday [Rs. 6.10 cr]. Below expectations. This is amongst Akshay's lowest openers
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	Remained rock-steady at urban centres in its second weekend, despite a big opposition in the form of 'Patiala House'. 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]. Overall profitable due to low costs
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
Angel	Nilesh Sahay, Madalsa Sharma, Aroona Irani, Manoj Joshi, Kishori Shahane Vij, Rakhi Vijan	Interesting story	Shoddy screenplay and amateurish direction	Extremely poor opening weekend
