Midweek: ‘Rowdy Rathore’ has biggest non-holiday weekend

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Rowdy Rathore	Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Nassar, Mushtaq Khan, Paresh Ganatra, Yashpal Sharma, Gurdeep Kohli, Anant Jog, Darshan Jariwala	Vintage masala movie that's aimed at the masses	Pacing drops occasionally	Has the biggest non-holiday opening weekend ever. Has smashed previous records by a big margin. Collects a colossal Rs 48.3 cr + nett in its first 3 days. Breakup:- Fri 15.1 cr, Sat 14.7 cr, Sun 18.5 cr +. The box-office performance of ROWDY RATHORE is better than this year's first Blockbuster AGNEEPATH, if one compares the Fri to Sun numbers. Of course, AGNEEPATH had the advantage of a 4-day opening weekend [Thursday to Sunday], therefore the opening weekend total is bigger. AGNEEPATH's opening weekend total stood at Rs 67.5 cr nett [Thu 23 cr, Fri 12.75 cr, Sat 14.5 cr, Sun 17.25 cr]
Ishaqzaade	Arjun Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra, Gauhar Khan, Anil Rastogi, Natasha Rastogi, Ratan Rathore	Volatile and intense story, winsome pair, popular music and several poignant moments	Loses focus in the middle of the second hour	Super Hit
