Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us box office verdict for the week.

Debutante director Neeraj Ghaywan’s Masaan may have received critical acclaim but the film hasn't found many takers at the box office.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan, on the other hand, is still breaking records.

Besides collecting Rs 200 crore, the film is also now lead star Salman Khan's highest grosser till date, overtaking his previous Eid release Kick.
