Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey	Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Sikander Kher, Vishakha Singh, Samrat Mukerji, Maninder, Feroz Wahid Khan	Absorbing, informative and inspiring film. Recreates the bygone era convincingly	Excessive length	Is a colossal disappointment. Collected approx. Rs. 3.25 cr. in its opening weekend. The poor occupancy at cineplexes has sent shock waves across the film fraternity. Will entail heavy losses to its investors. Disaster
Rakht Charitra - 2	Vivek Oberoi, Suriya, Shatrughan Sinha, Sudeep, Priyamani, Radhika Apte, Zarina Wahab, Anupam Shyam	Taut writing and Suriya's bravura act	Extremely violent	Remained low all through the weekend. Poor
Phas Gaye Re Obama	Rajat Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Sanjay Mishra, Manu Rishi, Amole Gupte	Interesting plot, skilled direction and admirable performances	Editing could be sharper	Picked up over the weekend, after a dull start on Friday. The breakup:- Fri: Rs. 22 lacs, Sat: Rs. 44 lacs and Sun: Rs. 54 lacs. The Weekend 1 total stands at approx. Rs. 1.20 cr. nett. Good, considering it was a limited release [limited screens and limited shows]
Break Ke Baad	Imran Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sharmila Tagore, Shahana Goswami, Yudhishtir Urs, Lillete Dubey, Navin Nischol	Imran and Deepika's act	Sloppy screenplay and disappointing musical score	While the theatrical business in India is below average, the investors should break-even or make decent profits because of good recovery from Satellite and Music rights
Guzaarish	Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Shernaz Patel, Nafisa Ali, Suhel Seth, Moni Kangana Dutta, Vijay Crishna, Rajit Kapoor, Makarand Deshpande, Ash Chandler, Achint Kaur	An outstanding film in all respects. Amongst Bhansaliâ€™s best works	Generous usage of English language, which curtails its reach to an extent. Also, city-centric appeal	Flop
