Midweek: ‘Kurbaan’ disappoints, has below-the-mark opening weekend

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Kurbaan	Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Om Puri, Kirron Kher, Dia Mirza [sp. app.], Nauheed Cyrusi [sp. app.]	Captivating script with power-packed performances	Too serious and slow-paced	Below average weekend. Fell further on Monday
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani	Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Darshan Jariwala, Smita Jaykar, Upen Patel, Govind Namdeo, Zakir Hussain, Navneet Nishan	Ranbir - Katrina chemistry, Pritam's music, terrific comic moments. Plus, Rajkumar Santoshi's handling of the subject has come in for praise. Also, terrific promotion by producer Ramesh Taurani	Second hour could've been better, writing-wise	Super Hit
Tum Mile	Emraan Hashmi, Soha Ali Khan, Mantra, Sachin Khedekar	Emraan - Soha's performances and Pritam's music	Screenplay is inconsistent	Flop
Aao Wish Karein	Aftab Shivdasani, Aamna Sharif, Johny Lever, Rati Agnihotri, Yatin Karyekar, Tiku Talsania, Riteish Deshmukh [sp. app.]	Interesting concept	Writing doesn't hold	Flop
Jail	Neil Nitin Mukesh, Manoj Bajpayee, Mugdha Godse, Aarya Babbar, Chetan Pandit, Rahul Singh	Neil and Manoj's performances, gripping script and competent direction by Madhur Bhandarkar	Gets repetitive in its second hour	Flop
