Midweek: ‘EMI’ fails, ‘Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi’ picks up marginally

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Golmaal Returns	Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Celina Jaitly, Amrita Arora, Anjana Sukhani.	Tusshar and Shreyas' comedy	Screenplay of convenience	2nd weekend nett: approx. Rs. 6 cr. Domestic total so far: approx. Rs. 45 cr. Share: approx. Rs. 22 cr. [as per Studio 18]. Add to it the proceeds from Overseas [ordinary], Home Video [sold], Music [sold] and Satellite rights [unsold; to be syndicated later]. India box-office performance has been very good, but in terms of pricing [approx. Rs. 45 cr.], it's an average fare for its principal distributors Indian Films/Studio 18.
Fashion	Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut, Mugdha Godse, Arbaaz Khan, Arjan Bajwa, Suchitra Pillai, Kittu Gidwani, Harsh Chhaya.	An expose on the fashion industry, with skilled performances	Second half is very lengthy	Is rock-steady at select multiplexes of select cities. Highest collections for a female-centric film. Price-wise, average
EMI	Sanjay Dutt, Urmila Matondkar, Arjun Rampal, Malaika Arora Khan, Aashish Chowdhary, Neha Uberoi, Kulbhushan Kharbanda	Interesting idea, plus Sanjay Dutt's fine performance	Goes haywire in the second half	Collections are disastrous everywhere
Ek Vivaah... Aisa Bhi	Sonu Sood, Isha Koppikar, Alok Nath, Vallabh Vyas, Vishal Malhotra	Remains faithful to the original film ['Tapasya']	Uninspiring music	Poor start, but some centres witnessed a slight rise
Roadside Romeo	Voiceovers of Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Jaaved Jaaferi.	Excellent animation	Predictable content
