Midweek B.O.: 'BBB' is first choice, new releases fail

Midweek B.O.: ‘BBB’ is first choice, new releases fail

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Band Baaja Baaraat	Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, Neeraj Sood, Manmeet Singh Sawhney, Manish Chaudhari	Fresh, youthful and extremely entertaining. Plus, Anushka and Ranveer's first-rate performances	Slips in the post-interval portions	Had a rock-steady Weekend 2. Collected approx. Rs. 5.05 cr nett [opening weekend was Rs. 5.70 cr nett]. The breakup of Weekend 2 is as follows:- Fri: 1.4 cr, Sat: 1.6 cr and Sun: 2.05 cr. Total so far: Rs. 14.45 cr nett. Very good
No Problem	Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Sushmita Sen, Kangna, Neetu Chandra, Ranjeet, Shakti Kapoor, Baby Saloni, Vijay Raaz	A few comic scenes	Lacks clever one-liners, bursting-with-energy sequences and amusing goings-on. Fails to entertain	Collected approx. Rs. 5 cr in its second weekend. Total so far: Rs. 28 cr. nett. Will entail losses since the theatrical business is dull and the recoveries from Satellite + Music + Home Video wouldn't be sufficient enough to recoup the investment
Mirch	Konkona Sen Sharma, Raima Sen, Shahana Goswami, Arunoday Singh, Sushant Singh, Shreyas Talpade, Boman Irani, Rajpal Yadav, Prem Chopra, Tisca Chopra, Ila Arun, Saurabh Shukla	Blends the serious issue of gender equality with the comic flavour of the film well	Appeals in parts - two stories in first half [great] and two stories in second [disappointing]	Poor weekend
