Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Teri Meri Kahaani	Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Prachi Desai, Neha Sharma, Vrajesh Hirjee, Surendra Pal	Shahid-Priyanka's chemistry, tuneful music and several engaging moments	Screenplay could've been tighter	Has not found takers. The film did not take off on day 1 itself and maintained similar figures over the weekend. There was no visible growth in business, which is disappointing. Collected approx Rs 16.75 cr + nett in its opening weekend. Breakup:- Fri 5.25 cr, Sat 5.50 cr, Sun 6 cr +
Gangs Of Wasseypur	Manoj Bajpayee, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Richa Chadda, Reemma Sen, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi, Piyush Mishra, Jaideep Ahlawat, Jameel Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Vipin Sharma, Vineet Singh, Yashpal Sharma, Anurita Jha	An engrossing motion picture with bravura performances	Pacing dips at times	Though the film showed an escalation in business over the weekend, it was not in sync with the merits of the film. It fared the best in Mumbai and Delhi plexes, besides U.P. and Bihar circuits. Surprisingly, the business at single screens of mass-dominated circuits was weak. Collected Rs 10.63 cr + nett in its opening weekend. Breakup:- Fri 3.03 cr, Sat 3.60 cr, Sun 4 cr +
Ferrari Ki Sawaari	Sharman Joshi, Boman Irani, Ritwik Sahore, Paresh Rawal, Vidya Balan [sp. app.], Seema Pahwa, Satyadeep Misra, Aakash Dabhade, Deepak Shirke, Nilesh Divekar, Vijay Nikam	The father-son bonding, emotional moments, bravura performances	A shorter duration would've worked wonders	Maintained very well, despite two major releases and lesser screen space. Collected Rs 5.04 cr nett in Weekend 2, taking the 10-day total to Rs 26 cr nett
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	Continues to rake in healthy figures. Collected Rs 3.25 cr nett in Weekend 4, taking the total to Rs 133.25 cr nett. Blockbuster. Breakup:- Fri 75 lacs, Sat 1 cr, Sun 1.5 cr
