Bollywood's lacklustre new year showing at the BO

Tum Bin director Anubhav Sinha hoped to recreate the sleepover success of his first film for his second Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai. The film was inspired by Hollywood films Meet The Parents and Father Of The Bride.

Unfortunately, the film fared badly. It could not displace last week's top film Talaash, and had to settle in the sixth spot.

Note: Films are ranked below on the basis of their performance at the BO every week. Though a film may be declared a flop, it may have performed the best among the other films that particular week.
