Last Friday's release Jannat 2 got a decent opening but failed to improve over the weekend as the foul language in the film did not go down well with the audience and saw a major drop on Monday.

While Fatso got a poor opening, Shoojit Sircar's Vicky Donor is still doing well at the box office.

Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives the box office verdict.
