Aisha
Cast:Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol, Ira Dubey, Amrita Puri, Cyrus Sahukar, Arunoday Singh
Director
: Rajshree Ojha
Neat performances, especially by Sonam Kapoor and Amit Trivedi's super musical score
Screenplay could've been tighter. Also, slow pacing
BO verdict
: Showed day-wise improvement as it collected Rs. 3.65 cr. on Friday, Rs. 4.48 cr. on Saturday and Rs. 5.29 cr. on Sunday. The 3-day total stands at approx. Rs. 13.43 cr. nett [Rs. 13,43,64,084, official figures issued by PVR]. The business was excellent at high-end multiplexes of Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and South, but was weak at small centres/single screens/Hindi belt. The low costs [Rs. 14 cr., excl. P. & A.] is a major advantage. The makers have already recovered Rs. 9 cr. from Satellite Rights and Rs. 1.5 cr. from Music Rights
BO verdict : Collected approx. Rs. 9 cr. nett in its second weekend. The 10-day total stands at approx. Rs. 43.20 cr. nett. Mumbai-Maharashtra has produced best returns
Terrific entertainer in all respects with great performances
Difficult to find
BO verdict : Profitable venture for its producers, due to its low costs and returns from theatrical and non-theatrical avenues [Satellite, Home Video and Music rights have fetched Rs. 4.25 cr.]
