Midweek B.O.: ‘Ishqiya’ has good weekend, ‘Rann’ fails!

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Ishqiya	Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan	Well executed film in all respects, with competent performances and lilting music	Climax is a letdown	Picked up over the weekend. Showed day-wise growth in business. Collected approx. Rs. 9.33 cr. nett in its opening weekend
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
Veer	Salman Khan, Zarine Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Sohail Khan, Puru Raaj Kumar, Aryan Vaid, Neena Gupta	Salman Khan	Poor script	Fell badly in its second weekend. However, was decent at single screens of some circuits. Is a success in some territories on the strength of its solid single screen business. But Eros, the presenters of the film, will lose money
Rann	Amitabh Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sudeep, Paresh Rawal, Rajat Kapoor, Mohnish Bahl, Gul Panag, Neetu Chandra, Suchitra Krishnamoorthy, Simone Singh, Rajpal Yadav	RGV is in form	Gets too real at times	Started slow, but failed to pick up. The collections continued to be dismal all through the weekend
Road To Sangam	Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Pawan Malhotra, Jawed Sheikh	Well-intentioned film	Gets into the sermonizing mode	Poor weekend
