Vikram Bhatt's Haunted has done well all over India, as it is India's first 3-D stereophonic film.
On the other hand Y-Films Luv Ka The End stays below par in its opening weekend, it fails to attract youth to which it was essentially targeting.
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.
