March 16, 2015 17:41 IST

Meanwhile, Dum Laga Ke Haisha is a hit!

Anushka Sharma's NH10 had a poor opening but fared better over the weekend. However, its patronage is limited as the film has an 'A' certificate, and has released in the midst of school examinations.

Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office verdict for the week.
