Midweek B.O.: 'Atithi' dominates, new releases lackluster!

Midweek B.O.: ‘Atithi’ dominates, new releases lackluster!

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?	Ajay Devgn, Konkona Sen Sharma, Paresh Rawal, Satish Kaushik, Akhilendra Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, Viju Khote, Sanjay Mishra	Interesting concept, skilful performances and hilarious moments	Screenplay wanders in post-interval portions	Continued to be the first choice of viewers in its second weekend, despite new multiple releases. Will recover its costs from theatrical and non-theatrical revenues and should emerge a profitable venture
Right Yaaa Wrong	Sunny Deol, Irrfan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Eesha Koppikhar, Arav Chowdharry	Gripping second hour	Lackluster marketing, which sent out wrong signals	Dull opening weekend
My Name Is Khan	Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Jimmy Shergill, Sonya Jehan, Zarina Wahab, Arjun Mathur, Parvin Dabas, Arif Zakaria, Sugandha Garg, Navneet Nishan, Vinay Pathak, Tanay Chheda, Yuvaan Makaar	An exceptional film in all respects	A bit lengthy towards the second hour	Given its good business in India [plexes mainly] and extra-ordinary business in Overseas, Fox should recover a big chunk of the revenue from theatrical rights. The revenue from non-theatrical avenues should eventually ensure profits for the distributors. Hit
Karthik Calling Karthik	Farhan Akhtar, Deepika Padukone, Ram Kapoor, Shifaali Shah, Vivan Bhatena, Tarana, Vipin Sharma, Yatin Karyekar	Interesting concept and Farhanâ€™s excellent performance	Climax is a downer	Will struggle to recover costs
Hide & Seek	Purab Kohli, Arjan Bajwa, Samir Kochhar, Ayaz Khan, Mrinalini Sharma, Amruta Patki	Promises thrills and chills	Ending couldâ€™ve been better	Poor opening weekend
