Midweek: ‘LVRB’ is mediocre, ‘TDP’ steady

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
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	Had a mediocre opening weekend.

Breakup:- Fri 4.74 cr, Sat 5.59 cr, Sun 6.21 cr
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	Collected Rs 11 cr nett in its second weekend, taking the 10-day total to Rs 63.5 cr nett. Weekend 2 breakup:- Fri 3.2 cr, Sat 3.3 cr, Sun 4.5 cr. Super Hit
Lanka	Manoj Bajpayee, Arjan Bajwa, Tia Bajpai, Yashpal Sharma, Yatin Karyekar, Manish Chaudhary	Interesting plot and Manoj Bajpayee's stellar act	Screenplay doesn't do justice to the brilliant concept	Extremely poor opening weekend
