Midweek: ‘Cocktail’ has superb weekend

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Cocktail	Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Diana Penty, Dimple Kapadia, Boman Irani, Randeep Hooda	Fascinating first half, charismatic performances, harmonious music and trendy look and styling	Over-stretched story, inconsistent screenplay, beaten to death finale and lethargic pacing	Is remarkable in its opening weekend, faring exceptionally well at plexes across the country. The film had an extensive release at plexes, but had a limited screen count at single screens. Collected approx Rs 36 cr nett in its opening weekend. Breakup:- Fri 11 cr, Sat 12 cr, Sun 13 cr. Extra-ordinary!
Bol Bachchan	Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Asin, Prachi Desai, Krushna Abhishek, Neeraj Vora, Archana Puransingh, Asrani	Non-stop entertainment with every actor playing to the gallery	Dips slightly in its second hour	Was affected by the COCKTAIL wave on Friday, but consolidated its status on Saturday [good] and Sunday [excellent]. Collected approx Rs 15.63 cr nett in Weekend 2, taking the 10-day total to approx Rs 82.44 cr nett. Breakup:- Fri 3.25 cr, Sat 5.35 cr, Sun 7.03 cr. Very good!
