There were five releases last Friday -- Ragini MMS, Shagird, Stanley Ka Dabba, Love U... Mr Kalakaar and Banga, the last one released in just one theatre in Mumbai [ Images ].
All the films fared poorly. Ragini MMS managed to do better than the rest.
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.
