Midweek: ‘Billu’ picks up during weekend, but dips on Monday

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Billu	Shah Rukh Khan, Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta, Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav, Rasika Joshi	Well-made film with an excellent emotional ending	Could've done away with a few songs	After a slow start, picked up on Saturday [good] and Sunday [excellent]. But Monday saw a dip in business
Dev D	Abhay Deol, Mahi Gill, Kalki	A few individualistic scenes and tuneful music	Second hour loses focus. Gets too abstract	Best at some multiplexes of big centres. Second weekend has seen a decline in business
Luck By Chance	Farhan Akhtar, Konkona Sen Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Juhi Chawla, Isha Sharwani, Sanjay Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan [sp. app.]	Presents the inside view of the film industry remarkably	Difficult to find	Flop
The Stoneman Murders	Kay Kay Menon, Arbaaz Khan, Rukhsaar, Vikram Gokhale, Virendra Saxena	An interesting plot, with a gripping second hour	End is not too convincing	Dull weekend
Jugaad	Manoj Bajpai, Hrishitaa Bhatt, Vijay Raaz, Govind Namdeo	Good idea	Director and writers make a complete mess	Poor weekend
