Box Office: Poor show for Ghazi Attack, Irada, Running Shaadi

The hits and misses of the week.

Jolly LLB 2 saw a weak opening but improved over its second weekend. It also benefited on February 14, Valentine's Day. With poor opposition in the next week, the film will move into plus side.

The other releases -- Irada and Running Shaadi -- were very poor.

Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the weekly verdict.
