Rajshri's experiment using footage from the original Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se to make sequel of Jaana Pehchana has not worked well; the single screen release collections have been poor.
Rivaaz is a non-starter.
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.
