Midweek: ‘Welcome’ rocks, ‘TZP’ picks up!

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Welcome	Feroz Khan, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Mallika Sherawat, Paresh Rawal	Non-stop entertainer	Second half drags slightly and uninspiring music	Collections are extra-ordinary everywhere. At par with 'O.S.O.' at places
Taare Zameen Par	Aamir Khan, Darsheel Safary, Tisca Chopra, Tanay Cheda, Sachet Engineer, Vipin Sharma	Darsheel Safary's bravura performance, Aamir's brilliant execution and several heart-rending moments	Post-interval portions could be shortened	Excellent at multiplexes. The film has been hailed unanimously. Collections are expected to only grow as days progress
Jab We Met	Shahid Kapur, Kareena Kapoor, Dara Singh, Pawan Malhotra	Well-made entertainer with supreme performances, lilting music and expert direction	Second half could've been shorter
Om Shanti Om	Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal, Shreyas Talpade, Kirron Kher	A thorough entertainer	Second half could've been shorter	[Blockbuster]
Aaja Nachle	Madhuri Dixit, Kunal Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ranvir Shorey, Akshaye Khanna [sp. app.]	Madhuri Dixit	Weak script and lackluster music
