Midweek B.O.: 'TMK' has huge weekend, yet below expectations, drops on Mon
| Film | Cast | Plusses | Minusses | Verdict |
Tees>
| Akshay Kumar, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif, Ali Asgar, Raghu, Rajiv, Aarya Babbar, Murli Sharma, Aman Verma, Apara Mehta, Sudhir Pandey, Sachin Khedekar, Vijay Patkar, Salman Khan [sp. app.], Anil Kapoor [sp. app.] | Thoroughly entertaining first half. Plus, 'Sheila Ki Jawani' | Loses grip in post-interval portions. Screenplay lacks punch. Jokes fall flat | Recorded impressive numbers in its opening weekend. But the cracks started appearing faster than expected. The business fell on Saturday [noon shows] and then on Sunday [noon and evening shows]. The breakup:- Fri: 13 cr, Sat: 13.25 cr and Sun: 12 cr. Total: Rs. 38.25 cr nett. It's the third biggest opening of all times [DABANGG 48.5 cr, 3 IDIOTS/3 days 40 cr, TMK 38.25 cr, GOLMAAL-3 35 cr and RAAJNEETI 33 cr]. Ideally, the opening weekend of TEES MAAR KHAN should've been approx. Rs. 45 cr + nett, which means the film has fallen short of expectations. The latest development is, Monday morning and noon shows have witnessed a fall in business. At places, the fall was quite substantial |
Toonpur>
| Ajay Devgn, Kajol | Blends animation with live characters well | Screenplay writing could be tighter | Had a slow Friday, but picked up marginally during the evening shows on Friday as well as Saturday. However, the big jump was clearly missing. Dull |
Band>
| Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, Neeraj Sood, Manmeet Singh Sawhney, Manish Chaudhari | Fresh, youthful and extremely entertaining. Plus, Anushka and Ranveer's first-rate performances | Slips in the post-interval portions | Maintained well despite new releases. Above average [theatrical business] |
Isi>
| Akshay Oberoi, Sandeepa Dhar, Salman Khan [sp. app.], Mohnish Bahl, Shagufta Ali, Prachi Shah, Aditya Raj Kapoor | The lead pair | Poor script and lackluster direction | Remained a non-starter |
