Midweek B.O.: ‘Badmaash Company’ continues to lead despite new releases

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Badmaash Company	Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Vir Das, Meiyang Chang, Anupam Kher, Kiran Juneja, Pawan Malhotra	Interesting premise, wonderful performances, tuneful music and fine direction	Penultimate 25-odd minutes	Remained the first choice of moviegoers this weekend, despite a string of new releases. While the second weekend witnessed the usual fall, the overall numbers were better than all recent releases
Housefull	Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan, Randhir Kapoor, Boman Irani, Chunkey Pandey, Lilette Dubey, Malaika Arora Khan	Gripping second half and skilled performances by each and every member of its cast	Inconsistent screenplay at places	Maintained well on the lower side, in its third weekend. Hit
Bumm Bumm Bole	Darsheel Safary, Ziyah Vastani, Atul Kulkarni, Rituparna Sengupta	Wonderful performances	Story has been stretched unnecessarily and lethargic pacing	Poor opening weekend
Kushti	Rajpal Yadav, Nargis, Om Puri, Sharat Saxena, Asrani, Manoj Joshi, The Great Khali	The penultimate kushti involving Khali and Rajpal	Relies on clichÃ©d stuff	Extremely poor opening weekend
It's A Wonderful Afterlife	Shabana Azmi, Goldy Notay, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Jimi Mistry, Sally Hawkins, Mark Addy, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Shaheen Khan, Zoe Wanamaker	A few light moments	Gurinder Chadha's weakest film	Flop
