Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
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	Picked up rapidly over the weekend. Saturday was better than Friday, while Sunday was better than Saturday. This, despite no release in Maharashtra on Friday [except a few theatres in Mumbai] and a scattered release on Saturday. The opening weekend closed at Rs. 33.20 cr. nett, which was confirmed by Fox to this writer. The Friday figures were approx. Rs. 8 cr., Saturday was Rs. 11.06 cr. and Sunday was a record-breaking Rs. 14.14 cr. [official figures supplied by Fox]. Mumbai, Delhi-U.P., Punjab, Bengal and South have performed exceedingly well, while C.P., C.I. and Rajashan arenâ€™t that strong
Ishqiya	Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan	Well executed film in all respects, with competent performances and lilting music	Climax is a letdown	Profitable venture for its distributors. Reasonable success
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	The film has fared well in a few circuits only, due to its [first week] business at single screens. However, Eros, the presenters of the film, will incur losses. Flop
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	Flop
