Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Lafangey Parindey	Neil Nitin Mukesh, Deepika Padukone, Piyush Mishra, Kay Kay Menon, Namit Das	Deepika Padukone and skating sequences	Neil Nitin Mukesh and cliched plotline	Collected approx. Rs. 10.5 cr. nett in its opening weekend. The film has under-performed, although the reports are better than its box-office performance. However, the silver lining is its moderate costing. The cost of production is approx. Rs. 13 cr. and with P. & A. included, it works out to Rs. 18 cr. The makers have recovered Rs. 10 cr. from Satellite Rights already and the balance amount [Rs. 8 cr.] will be recovered from India theatrical and Overseas. The Music Rights and Home Video are with Yash Raj
