Last week saw two releases Milenge Milenge and Red Alert -- The War Within. Both got a very weak response from the audience.
As of now, I Hate Luv Storys is has got an average response, but with no good films scheduled to release this week, it has a fair chance of doing better.
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 reflect rediff's views.
