Out of the five releases last week, only Bheja Fry 2 and Bin Bulaye Baraaati have been able to find some audience support, though at an average level.
The other films Bhindi Bazaar Inc, Cycle Kick and Always Kabhi Kabhi had no takers.
Ready continues its glorious run through its second week, and is a huge hit. 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.
