Midweek: ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’ below par, ‘Ek’ poor, ‘Videsh’ washout

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Aa Dekhen Zara	Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bipasha Basu, Rahul Dev	Interesting concept and foot-tapping music	Second half goes topsy-turvy. Messy writing	Was strictly okay at a few stand-alone multiplexes. Single screens are below the mark. Monday witnessed a further decline
Ek - The Power Of One	Nana Patekar, Bobby Deol, Shriya Saran, Jackie Shroff, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Pradeep Kharb, Zareena Wahab, Chunkey Pandey	Action scenes	Outdated premise	Decent at few single screens, but multiplexes are terrible. Monday has crashed completely. Overall, poor
Aloo Chaat	Aftab Shivdasani, Aamna Sharif, Linda Arsenio, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Manoj Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra, Dolly Ahluwalia	A few comic moments	Comes across like a TV serial	Flop
Videsh - Heaven On Earth	Preity Zinta, Vansh Bhardwaj	Preity's powerful performance	Poor screenplay	Flop
Straight	Vinay Pathak, Gul Panag, Anuj Chaudhary, Siddharth Kakkar, Rasik Dave, Ketaki Dave	Difficult to find	Dull and dreary screenplay	Flop
