Last week saw some good releases. Unfortunately, they could not be released in Mumbai due to directions given by the Maharashtra government in order to curb the spread of swine flu. Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey saw a good opening but it dropped drastically from Monday. In Mumbai, the film opened poorly. On the other hand, Rumi Jaffery's Life Partner has had an average opening.
Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office report.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views.
