Midweek Top 5: ‘Ahista Ahista’, ‘Katputtli’ collapse!

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna	Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukherji, Preity Zinta	Ensemble cast, bold storyline, polished performances and topnotch direction	Very lengthy	[dull at small centres]
Omkara	Ajay Devgan, Saif Ali Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Konkona Sen Sharma, Naseeruddin Shah	Sterling performances and several power-packed sequences	Dark and disturbing, difficult-to-grasp dialect, slow pacing and mouthful of expletives/cuss words	[better in Mumbai, Delhi]
Ahista Ahista	Abhay Deol, Soha Ali Khan, Shayan Munshi	Abhay and Soha are likable	Too simple a film, slow pacing and faulty climax
Krrish	Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Rekha, Naseeruddin Shah	Hrithik Roshan, novel theme, excellent special effects and fantastic stunts	Can easily be trimmed by 15-20 minutes	[Blockbuster]
Golmaal	Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar, Sharman Joshi, Rimi Sen, Paresh Rawal, Sushmita Mukherjee	Excellent comedy, first-rate performances and able direction	Waferthin plot and excessive length	[best in Mumbai]
