Midweek: New releases disappoint!

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
De Taali	Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Ayesha Takia, Rimi Sen, Anupam Kher	Competent performances and a few enjoyable moments	Script gives away in the second hour	Multiplexes of few centres were decent, otherwise dull. Monday has witnessed a fall in business. Overall, disappointing!
Mere Baap Pehle Aap	Akshaye Khanna, Genelia, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Archana Puransingh, Rajpal Yadav, Shobhana, Naseeruddin Shah [sp. app.]	A few comic scenes in the first hour	Screenplay goes weak in the second hour. Plus, proceedings get too lengthy
Sarkar Raj	Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan	A well-made film in all respects	Gets a bit slow in the second hour	[Mumbai-Maharashtra, South] [other circuits]
Aamir	Rajeev Khandelwal	Excellent direction, gripping script and topnotch performance	Caters to a niche audience	[steady at select multiplexes] Note: Producers/distributors [UTV] should recover its lost cost via theatrical business and sale of Satellite and Home Video rights
Haal-e-dil	Amita Pathak, Nakuul Mehta, Adhyayan Suman	Great music and fabulous visuals	Poor script
