Midweek B.O.: ‘Chalo Dilli’ picks up, ‘SITC’ remains low, rest fail

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Chalo Dilli	Lara Dutta, Vinay Pathak, Akshay Kumar [sp. app.]	Enjoyable moments in the first hour. Plus, Vinay and Lara's performances	Dips in the post-interval portions	Picked up over the weekend after a slow start. Saturday was better than Friday, while Sunday was better than Saturday
Dum Maaro Dum	Abhishek Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Bipasha Basu, Prateik, Aditya Pancholi, Anaitha Nair, Govind Namdeo, Muzammil, Gulshan Devaiya, Hussain, Vidya Balan [sp. app.], Deepika Padukone [sp. app.]	Riveting first hour and admirable performances. Also, very stylish attempt	Second hour loses focus	Registered a decline in its second weekend. However, the business was still better than all new releases [except 'Chalo Dilli']
Shor In The City	Tusshar Kapoor, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Nikhil Dwivedi, Pitobash, Sundeep Kishan, Radhika Apte, Preeti Desai, Girija Oak, Amit Mistry, Zakir Hussain	A well-made film in all respects with a nail-biting climax	Slow pace [at times]	Despite appreciation, the business remained low-key. The figures did show an escalation over the weekend, but the increase was limited to select plexes only
