Midweek B.O.: ‘3 Idiots’ leads, ‘PI’ below expectations, ‘DMG’ poor

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
3 Idiots	Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor, Boman Irani, Omi	An outstanding, incredible, superb film in all respects	Difficult to find	Super Blockbuster
Pyaar Impossible	Uday Chopra, Priyanka Chopra, Anupam Kher, Dino Morea, Advika Yadav	Commendable performances by Uday and Priyanka, besides well-told story	Screenplay could've been tighter in post-interval portions	Did reasonably well at select plexes of metros. But the jump in business was missing. Overall, below expectations
Dulha Mil Gaya	Sushmita Sen, Fardeen Khan, Ishita Sharma, Shah Rukh Khan [sp. ap.], Mohit Chadha, Tara Sharma, Johny Lever, Suchitra Pillai, Howard Rosemeyer, Parikshit Sahni, Bina Kak, Viveck Vaswani	Decent performances	Poor script	Very poor weekend
Paa	Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Paresh Rawal, Arundhati Naag	Performances by every member of its cast, especially Amitabh Bachchan as Auro, plus R. Balki's sensitive direction	Script could've been tighter [the political track doesn't work]	Hit
Raat Gayi, Baat Gayi?	Neha Dhupia, Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Dalip Tahil, Irawati Harshe Mayadev, Anu Menon, Navniit Nisshan, Aamir Bashir, Ranvir Shorey [sp. app.], Makrand Deshpande [sp. app.], Sudhir Mishra [sp. app.]	Interesting concept	Writing lacks meat. Picks up only towards climax	Flop
