Midweek: ‘Z.N.M.D.’ collects a massive Rs 28.25 cr + in opng wknd

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara	Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif, Kalki, Naseeruddin Shah, Deepti Naval, Ariadna Cabrol	Brilliantly executed slice of life film with super performances. Characters seem straight out of life	Drama is missing in the first hour. Also, lethargic pacing and excessive length	Did fantabulous business in its opening weekend. Contribution from multiplexes was humungous, while single screens of big centres were decent, but small centres remained below the mark/dull. Overall, the first weekend figures are a mammoth [approx] Rs 28.25 cr nett. Breakup:- Fri 8 cr, Sat 9.25 cr, Sun 11 cr
Murder 2	Emraan Hashmi, Jacqueline Fernandez, Prashant Narayanan, Sulagna Panigrahi, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sandiip Sikcand, Shweta Kawatra, Yana Gupta	A well-penned, well-executed film	Lacks the lilting melodies of the first part	Got affected due to the ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA wave at metros, but single screens continued to perform very well. Super Hit
Delhi Belly	Imran Khan, Vir Das, Kunal Roy Kapur, Shenaz Treasury, Poorna Jagannathan, Vijay Raaz, Paresh Ganatra, Rahul Singh, Aamir Khan [sp. app.]	An outstanding film in all respects	May not be savored and relished by everyone	Super Hit
Chillar Party	Child actors Naman, Divij, Sanath, Vedant, Aarav, Chinmay, Sherya, Rohan, Visshesh and Irfan Khan	Works not just as an entertainer, but also advocates a message strongly	Writing could've been tighter	Remained on the lower side in its second weekend
