Midweek: New releases bite the dust

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Aarakshan	Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Manoj Bajpayee, Prateik, Tanvi Azmi, Mukesh Tiwari, Yashpal Sharma, Darshan Jariwala, Saurabh Shukla, Chetan Pandit, Vinay Apte, Anita Kanwar, S.M. Zaheer, Hema Malini	Well-intentioned film with fine performances by each member of the cast	Lengthy towards the second hour	Remained on the lower side in its second weekend. Was slightly better at plexes, but continued to be dull at single screens
Not A Love Story	Deepak Dobriyal, Mahie Gill, Ajay Gehi, Zakir Hussain, Neil Bhoopalam, Darshan Jariwala, Ganesh Yadav, late Rasika Joshi	Amongst Ramgopal Varma's best works	Need a strong stomach to absorb this one	Started on a weak note. The business did increase marginally at few places, but the jump was missing. Overall, poor. The sole silver lining is its low costing
Chatur Singh Two Star	Sanjay Dutt, Ameesha, Anupam Kher, Satish Kaushik, Suresh Menon, Shakti Kapoor, Gulshan Grover, Rati Agnihotri, Murli Sharma, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Ganesh Yadav	Difficult to find	Almost everything	Despite starring well-known stars, fetched a shockingly low start and remained poor all through the weekend.
