Film: Ready
Position: 1
Director: Anees Bazmee
Cast: Salman Khan, Asin, Paresh Rawal, Mahesh Manjrekar
Upside: Mass appeal in Salman Khan and music
Downside: Loud comedy, ham performances, silly dialogues, seems too long
Running Week: 1
Trade Comments: The first big release post the cricket season, Ready had the advantage of both – good release timing and Salman's mass-appeal. Expectedly the film opened to huge response collecting as big as Rs 40.5 cr + in its opening weekend. Though this is a record-breaking start for a Hindi film, Ready is second to Dabangg which holds the numero-uno position for the biggest opener for a Bollywood film till date.
