Last week's releases -- Ishqiya and Rann -- had different outcomes at the box office. Ishqiya was steady and is likely to emerge a safe bet, especially since it has no opposition this week as well.
Rann, on the other hand, is a disaster at the box office.
Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office verdict.
Note: Films are ranked according to their release dates. The thumbs ups and downs reflect rediff's views.
