Bombay To Bangkok

Calcutta has given a thumbs down to this boring ride from Bombay to Bangkok.

Pro: Shreyas Talpade; some moments in the first half

Con: A garbled second half; the music

Alvin and the Chipmunks

A lukewarm box-office response means that it has not been a good opening week for the Chipmunks trio.

Pro: Good animation

Con: Nothing new to offer; Boring in parts

Stomp The Yard

This small budget Hollywood flick has failed to draw the crowds in Week One.

Pro: A theme with potential

Con: Lack of big names; old wine in an old bottle

Halla Bol

Ajay Devgan’s poor run at the box office continues with the below average response to Halla Bol.

Pro: Pankaj Kapur; a few moments

Con: Nothing new to offer; the music

Taare Zameen Par

Week 5 and the craze still hasn’t flagged for Aamir Khan’s highly acclaimed directorial debut.

Pro: The unconventional plot; the performances (especially Darsheel); the music

Con: Too preachy in parts

Welcome

Welcome continues to raise laughs even in Week 5.

Pro: Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar; the dialogues

Con: Cliched jokes; too many songs
