Midweek B.O.: ‘Karthik’ decent at select plexes, ‘Teen Patti’ poor

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Karthik Calling Karthik	Farhan Akhtar, Deepika Padukone, Ram Kapoor, Shifaali Shah, Vivan Bhatena, Tarana, Vipin Sharma, Yatin Karyekar	Interesting concept and Farhan's excellent performance	Climax is a downer	Performed well at select plexes of big centres mainly. The single screens weren't encouraging. The huge pick up in business is missing!
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 additional non-theatrical revenue should ensure profits for the distributors
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
Teen Patti	Amitabh Bachchan, Madhavan, Siddharth Kher, Shraddha Kapoor, Vaibhav Talwar, Dhruv Ganesh, Raima Sen, Barry John, Anjan Srivastava, Mahesh Manjrekar, Saira Mohan, Sir Ben Kingsley	Good performances. Also, film appeals in parts	Script should've been simplified	Extremely poor opening weekend
Toh Baat Pakki	Tabu, Sharman Joshi, Vatsal Sheth, Yuvika Choudhary, Ayub Khan, Sharat Saxena, Himani Shivpuri, Suhasini Mulay, Upasna Singh	Decent performances	Screenplay doesn't hold	Flop
