Mid-Week Top 5 Movies of the Week

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya	Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, Sohail Khan, Katrina Kaif, Arshad Warsi	Able performances, rib-tickling comedy and foot-tapping music	Thin storyline and drab post-interval portions
Viruddh	Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, John Abraham, Anusha Dandekar, Sanjay Dutt	Spirited performances, strong drama and some heart-wrenching moments	Slow-paced and climax could've been better
Sarkar	Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Kay Kay, Katrina Kaif, Tanisha, Rukhsaar, Supriya Pathak	RGV's skillful storytelling and power-packed performances	Slow-paced and grim at times	Hit in Mumbai/Maharashtra and South. Above average at several places
7 ½ Phere	Juhi Chawla, Irrfan Khan	Novel concept, interesting first half with rib-tickling moments and superb timing by the two actors mainly	Lengthy post-interval portions, moves into a predictable zone	[slightly better at some multiplexes].
Yahaan	Jimmy Shergill, Minissha	Interesting idea and Jimmy's earnest performance	Not-too-exciting screenplay, routine climax and dull music
