The hits and misses of the week.
Salman Khan's big Eid release Tubelight is also a major loser.
The first hour and half goes off like a breeze with its attractive opening credits, zippy pace, witty rejoinders, slick packaging and two extremely good-looking protagonists. Post-interval,however, Break Ke Baad runs out of ideas.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, even in its unfinished state, is masterfully structured into three acts that fulfills the expectations of action-packed wizardry.

The film, promoted as the R K Laxman-inspired voice of common man, is more Bollywood than comic strip.

Anjaana Anjaani is embellished with contradictions.
While the transition from book to big screen is hasty, the level of drama it generates is more lavish and breathtaking than its comparatively austere source.

Cirkus is not getting good reviews but its *huge* cast is quite excited to see it on big screen anyway.
