Bollywood's dismal show at the box office

All the five releases this week -- Hum Tum Aur Ghost, Well Done Abba, Mittal v/s Mittal, Prem Ka Game and My Friend Ganesha 3 -- have shown poor results at the box office with many shows cancelled due to lack of audience at many centres.

Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office verdict.
