Supriya Pathak, Vidya Balan, Tanvi Azmi in Bobby Jasoos

Here's looking at the hits and flops of the week.

Last week's release Bobby Jasoos failed to repeat the Vidya Balan's magic despite being a novel subject. The film saw a poor opening with a slight improvement over the weekend.

Armaan Jain's debut Lekar Hum Deewana Dil was also very poor.
