Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Prince	Vivek Oberoi, Aruna Shields, Nandana Sen, Neeru Singh, Isaiah, Sanjay Kapoor, Dalip Tahil, Rajesh Khattar, Mayur Puri	Great music, super stunts, Vivek Oberoi's bravura performance and terrific promotion	Screenplay could've been tighter in post-interval portions	Was super-strong at single screens all through the weekend, but below average to disappointing at plexes. Single screens in the Hindi belt recorded very good figures. It depends on how the film fares on weekdays. If it continues to perform well at single screens, a good chunk of the investment would be recovered from theatrical avenues, since the rentals are quite low at single screens and the shares, therefore, are big
Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai	Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Vishal Malhotra, Ruslaan Mumtaz, Sonal Sehgal, Farah Khan, Satish Shah, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Akshay Kumar [sp. app.], Priyanka Chopra [sp. app.], Sajid Khan [sp. app.], Amrita Rao [sp. app.]	Interesting concept with an entertaining first half and good performances	Predictable and old-fashioned post-interval portions	Picked up on Saturday after a dull Friday. At certain centres, the Saturday numbers were almost double of Friday. Sunday was better too. But, overall, the big jump was missing, despite appreciation. Monday witnessed a drop in business
Love Sex Aur Dhokha	Anshuman Jha, Shruti, Raj Kumar Yadav, Neha Chauhan, Amit Sial, Arya Devdutta, Herry Tangri	Compelling writing, top notch direction, skilled performances	Difficult to find	Should make profits due to its low costs
Tum Milo Toh Sahi	Nana Patekar, Dimple Kapadia, Suniel Shetty, Vidya Malavade, Rehan Khan, Anjana Sukhani, Mohnish Bahl, Amit Behl, Raghav Sachar	Nana and Dimple's portions	Appeals in parts, not in totality	Flop
Hum Tum Aur Ghost	Arshad Warsi, Dia Mirza, Boman Irani, Sandhya Mridul, Zehra Naqvi, Shernaz Patel, Tinnu Anand, Javed Sheikh, Asawari Joshi	Decent performances	Poor screenplay	Flop
