Heyy Babyy

Funnyman Sajid Khan’s directorial debut has had a big opening in city theatres. The laugh riot has clicked.

Pro: Akshay, Fardeen and Riteish; the one liners; the music

Con: If this is not your brand of humour it all seems quite stupid and so the film tends to drag; Vidya Balan is a misfit

Ratatouille

This animated film based on the culinary aspirations of a rat has had a decent Week One at the box office.

Pro: Craftsmanship, Peter OToole’s performance as Anton Ego

Con: The premise is a bit silly

Kaisay Kahein

This attempt at a mature young love story has received a lukewarm response in its opening week, with the audience choosing to stay away from the Smita Thackeray film.

Pro: A script with potential

Con: Disappointing performances; lacklustre direction; average music

Ballygunge Court

Even with a good cast, this film dealing with the parent-child equation in the context of career and mobility, fails to strike a chord.

Pro: Refreshing foreign locale

Con: Gloomy and depressing narrative; cliched handling and performances

Chak De! India

SRK and his gang of hockey girls continue to create box office magic in Week 3.

Pro: Shah Rukh Khan hasn’t looked and acted better; the refreshingly real supporting cast; gender and region sensitive

Con: Dhoondte reh jaoge!

Partner

The Salman-Govinda ‘partner’ship is still going strong with the David Dhawan comic caper emerging as one of the biggest grossers of ’07. And Salman fans now have another reason to catch it.

Pro: The partnership; the one-liners

Con: Loud in parts
