Two films released last week -- No Problem and Band Bajaa Baraat.
But it was problems all the way for the former -- No Problem has done poor buisness over the weekend and is a major loser.
BBB too had a very poor opening; even the marginal improvement it showed on Sunday was not enough to sustain the film.
Last week's Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, Phas Gaya Re Obama and Rakht Charitra 2 are disastrous flops.
Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office verdict for the week.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs do not reflect rediff's views.
