Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Jannat 2	Emraan Hashmi, Randeep Hooda, Esha Gupta, Manish Chaudhuri, Brijendra Kala, Sumit Nijhawan, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub, Arif Zakaria	An engrossing film with a watertight screenplay	Generous usage of expletives and cuss words is a deterrent	Had a super start on Friday, dipped on Saturday, but was almost at par with Friday on Sunday. The single screens in mass belt performed the best, while the plexes, which contribute to a fat total, did not. The generous usage of cuss words in the film kept the family audiences away, while the interesting cricket match on Sunday also made a dent. Yet, by all means, the opening weekend numbers are impressive, but the numbers could've been much better. Collected Rs 24.03 cr nett in its opening weekend. Breakup:- Fri 8.52 cr, Sat 6.9 cr, Sun 8.61 cr.
Vicky Donor	Ayushmann Khurrana, Annu Kapoor, Yami Gautam, Dolly Ahluwalia, Kamlesh Gill, Jayanta Das, John Abraham [sp. app.].	Excellent film in all respects	Dips slightly in the post-interval portions. Verdict: Held very well in Weekend 3, despite JANNAT 2. Super Hit.	Held very well in Weekend 3, despite JANNAT 2.

Fatso	Ranvir Shorey, Gul Panag, Purab Kohli, Neil Bhoopalam, Gunjan Bakshi, Brijendra Kala, Yusuf Hussain, Vinay Pathak [sp. app.], Saurabh Shukla [sp. app.].
