Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Blue	Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif [sp. app.], Rahul Dev, Kabir Bedi, Kylie Minogue	A slick film with mind-blowing action and incredible underwater sequences	Waferthin storyline and weak climax	Has had a fantastic first 4 days [Friday to Monday]. While the business dipped on Saturday [pooja], it was fabulous on Sunday and Monday. It's one of the biggest openers of the year, despite the screens getting divided amongst three big films in the Diwali week
All The Best	Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Mugdha Godse, Johny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, Vijay Patkar, Ashwini Kalsekar, Atul Parchure	Wholesome entertainer with excellent comedy	Music	Was ordinary to dull on Friday and Saturday, but picked up dramatically on Sunday and Monday. In fact, the business was close to BLUE at several screens. The film has been appreciated tremendously and should maintain the pace on coming days
Main Aurr Mrs Khanna	Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sohail Khan, Yash Tonk, Mahek Chahal, Nauheed Cyrusi, Bappi Lahiri, Preity Zinta [sp. app.], Deepika Padukone [sp. app.], Dino Morea [sp. app.]	Kareena Kapoor	Weak script	Was poor on Friday and Saturday, picked up marginally on Sunday and Monday, but not enough. The clash with BLUE and ALL THE BEST has cost the film dear
Wake Up Sid	Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Supriya Pathak, Namit Das, Shikha Talsania, Rahul Khanna, Kashmira Shah	A well-made film in all respects. Also, Ranbir Kapoor's super performance	Slows down in second hour	Multiplex Hit. Overall average, due to its costs
Wanted	Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia Azmi, Vinod Khanna, Mahesh Manjrekar, Prakash Raj, Govind Namdeo, Mahek Chahal, Aseem Merchant, Raju Mavani, Inder Kumar, Manoj Pahwa, Prateeksha Lonkar	Full on masala film with a power-packed performance by Salman Khan	Waferthin plot	Hit
