On the whole, Chala Mussaddi Office Office is a dull fare and will not be able to repeat its television success. In fact, it will find the going at the box-office tough.

On the whole, Bubble Gum may be a well-meaning and well-made film but if it still goes largely unnoticed, it will be because of lack of face value and lack of entertainment value.

On the whole, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a film for the multiplexes, the city-based audiences and the youngsters. However, it doesn’t have much for the masses, the single-screen cinema audiences and for the public in small centres. Considering its high price, it will not be able to make profits even though the youth and the city audiences will give it the thumbs up.

On the whole, ‘Chillar Party’ will be liked mainly by pet lovers. Average in merits, it will find the going at the box-office tough and not just because it lacks face value and has been sandwiched between big and star-cast films and will continue to face the onslaught of big releases.

On the whole, Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap is not entertaining enough to hold sway over the audiences in the cinema halls. A medium-budgeted film, it has covered a sizeable part of its cost from the sale of satellite rights and should, therefore, not find it problematic to cover its cost and sail safe. But it won’t get the love of the public to make it a richly rewarding film. Loyal Amitabh Bachchan fans will be thrilled to watch their idol do all the stuff – dance, fight, act, laugh, cry.

On the whole, Double Dhamaal is for the masses and the single-screen cinemas mainly. Considering its high cost (over Rs. 40 crore), it is not likely to prove a profitable venture even though the producers have made a killing from its satellite rights. If, by a stroke of good luck, the producers are able to break even, at least the distributors of the circuits, for which the producers have sold the rights, would end up being in the red because of the high prices they’ve paid.

On the whole, Bin Bulaye Baraati is a poor fare as it has precious little to offer except a few song-dances. It will fail at the ticket counters.

On the whole, Bhindi Baazaar Inc. is a dull fare with some chances in pockets of Bombay only but bleak chances in the rest of India because it lacks novelty, face value and entertainment value.

On the whole, Always Kabhi Kabhi neither has the warmth and emotions of a teenage love story nor the entertainment value and music of a romantic drama. It will not be able to make much of a mark at the box-office.

On the whole, Bheja Fry 2 is not at all a worthy sequel to Bheja Fry. Since the film, designed as a comedy, does not create too much laughter, it will fail to make its mark at the box-office.
