Bollywood no show continues at the box office

December 20, 2010 17:28 IST

Of the four releases last Friday, Mirch was appreciated but that did not show in the collections as the film was poorly promoted.

The other three -- 332 Mumbai To India, Kaalo and Payback -- fared very poorly.

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

Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs do not reflect rediff's views.
