| With even the films that released after the producers-distributors versus multiplexes face off failing to bring cheer to the beleaguered Bollywood, year 2009 is turning out to be one of the worse ever first half for the Hindi film industry. The first half of the year is about to end in a week`s time and the onus of ending it on a bright note is now on Yash Raj`s Kabir Khan directed John, Neil and Katrina starrer, `New York`. |

| Paying Guests |
Verdict: New |

Last Friday`s Paritosh Painter directed `Paying Guests` was expected to fair decently, at least in the Bombay-Maharashtra belt, but unfortunately that did not happen. The start was below the mark across India as the Shreyas Talpade, Jaaved Jaaferi, Ashish Chaudhry, Celina Jaitley and Riya Sen starrer failed to tickle the funny bones. Trade feels that the Mukta Arts Entertainment Ltd.`s latest offering will prove to be a losing proposition as the comedy is more contrived than cool. The loss though won`t be monumental, thanks to the reasonable budget and the so-so first weekend.

Verdict: Flop |

The week also saw Advait Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. and Asian Films Production And Distribution Ltd.`s Gayatri Patel starrer, `Let`s Dance`. The film saw a poor to weak opening everywhere. Needless to add that it will end up as a trade disaster.

Verdict: Disaster |
| Weekly Earnings: - |
Total Earnings: - |

The third release of last Friday, Namaha Shivay Cinevision`s `Raftaar- An Obsession`, loosely based on the Martin Scorsese classic, `Cape Fear`, is a recipe for disaster!

Vashu Bhagnani`s Vivek Sharma directed `Kal Kissne Dekha` has been totally rejected, after a somewhat decent Saturday and Sunday. The Jackky-Vaishali debut vehicle is turning out to be a huge debacle.
