Dull scenario continues in the overseas market

The new release, 99, hasn't elevated the mood of the industry. The film had a poor weekend in the U.S.... Punjabi film Munde U.K. De is rock-solid in U.K.... Overall, the mood is far from upbeat. Everyone's awaiting the flow of biggies to change the status.

Weekend: May 15 – 17, 2009.
