Minuses                too cliche dialogues and story line highly 'inspired' from 2nd half of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai',too long to tolerate

Verdict                 1.5/5 (watch it if you like mindless unoriginal so called 'multiplex' films)

Cast                     Rajeev Khandelwal,Mrinalini Sharma,Soha Ali Khan,Mohan Kapoor

Pluses                   Impactful treatment,good performances from lead cast (Rajeev is fab once again and Soha is good)

Minuses                Bad music is even worse for a film based on music,script is completely lifted from award winning film 'It's All Gone Pete Tong'

Verdict                 2/5 (watch it if you missed the original one) 

Box Office Prediction       It will not collect more than 4 crore nett as no box office appeal of star cast plus serious art house theme

Director                David Dhawan

Duration                125 minutes

Pluses                   Two average songs(title and 'Shake It Saiyaan'), hilarious(by Sanjay Chel) dialogues,Kangana looks good,acts good

Minuses                Sanjay and Ajay are uninspired,direction is pathetic,too similar to 'Deewana Mastana'

Verdict                 2/5 (watch it if you love boring and repetitive comedy) 

Box Office Prediction       Sadly it will collect about 45 crore nett at least due to Dusshera and lack of any big competition  next 2 weeks

Bollywood ka King Kaun? - 15 weeks to go 38 releases! Part 2

THE DIRTY PICTURE  Vidya Balan,Emraan Hashmi,Tushaar Kapoor,Naseerudin Shah

Pluses          Directed by Milan Lutharia,this one is based on south film industry's sex siren Silk Smita's real life,plot is fresh and has potential,Vidya is bound to deliever a massive performance after 'NOKJ' and 'Ishqiya',Emraan looks dashing too in an impressive role,right combination of sex and sensational plot is set to fire at box office

Minuses        Hardly any except music is not chartbuster

BO Nos.       Film's budget is 20 crore and this is a sure winner with potential of 45 crore nett

ROCKSTAR   Ranbir Kapoor,Nargis Fakiri

Pluses              Rahman's music is high point of this flick,Ranbir's big release after a gap of almost a year and half,new face Nargis has craze among younsters,Imtiaz's next venture after double success of 'Jab We Met' and 'Love Aaj Kal'

Minuses          First promo looked quite long and tepid

BO Nos.        This 60 crore venture likely to run in losses as more than 55 crore nett looks tough





DESI BOYZ  Akshay Kumar,John Abraham,Deepika Padukone,Chitraganda Singh

Pluses         David Dhawan's son's dbut venture as director looks good as a package(Good locales and good music)

Minuses        Akshay does not look in his elements,plot looks stale

BO Nos.   This 40 crore flick looks to earn at least 60 crore at box office,average hit






LADIES Vs. RICKY BAHL  Ranveer Singh,Anushka Sharma,Parineeti Chopra

Pluses        Team of 'Band Baaja Baraat' is back-director Manish Sharma,lead pair and writer Habib Faisal,plot is fresh,cast looks rocking too

Minuses         Only problem is fear of being repetetive
BO Nos.        20 crore rom com looks super hit already,at least business of 50 crore is guaranteed

RASCALS    Sanjay Dutt,Ajay Devgn,Kangana Ranaut,Lisa Hayden

Pluses        David Dhawan directed this comedy will be releasing on dusshera and that too without much competition,Ajay is in good form at box office lately and this may help this film

Minuses        Promo looks jaded and plot looks stale plus music is boring

BO Nos.        30 crore film looks bleak but good release date will take it around 50 crore nett
