Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Don 2	Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta, Kunal Kapoor, Om Puri, Boman Irani, Nawab Shah, Alyy Khan, Sahil Shroff, Hrithik Roshan [sp. app.]	SRK and Priyanka's super performances, stylishly shot and some wonderful moments in the second hour	First half is bland, the screenplay lacks meat. Also, the music is a sore point	Fetched a robust figure in its second weekend. While the second Friday numbers were very good, the business witnessed excellent growth on Saturday and Sunday. Collected Rs 19.11 cr nett in Weekend 2, taking the 10-day total to Rs 94.38 cr nett. Breakup:- Fri 4.47 cr, Sat 6.09 cr, Sun 8.55 cr. Includes Tamil + Telugu business
The Dirty Picture	Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi, Tusshar, Anju Mahendru, Rajesh Sharma, Shivani Tanskale, Mangal Kenkre, Imran Hasnee	Great script, superb dialogue, bravura performances, especially by Vidya Balan and 'Ooh La La'	Screenplay dips in post-interval portions	Blockbuster, given its cost on one hand and returns on investment on the other. One of the biggest grossers of 2011
Ladies VS Ricky Bahl	Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, Parineeti Chopra, Dipannita Sharma, Aditi Sharma	Ranveer-Anushka-Parineeti's spirited performances and Salim-Sulaiman's energetic musical score	Screenplay lacks meat	The theatrical business is average, but Yash Raj will make good profits due to the revenue generated from non-theatrical avenues
