Kangna Ranaut gave a brilliant performance in her previous film Queen and so, much was expected from her next film, Revolver Rani.
Unfortunately, it has failed to impress critics as well as audiences.
The week's other releases, Kaanchi and Samrat & Co proved to be disasters.
Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office verdict for the week.
