How did this week's releases perform at the box office? We take a look...

Verdict: Hit

All India collections: Rs 47 crore (opening weekend)

Negative reviews seemed to have zero effect on the collections of the latest Abbas Mustan offering, as Race 2 has proved to be the highest grosser of the year so far. This must come as a relief to the cast and crew, who received bad to plain ugly criticism for their performances. 'Race 2' will face stiff competition in the coming week from big releases like 'David' and 'Midnight's Children', though masses looking for cathartic entertainment might just ensure it has a good second weekend at the box office

Verdict: Flop

All India collections: Negligible

Word-of-mouth praise might have worked for Luv Ranjan's first offering ('Pyaar Ka Punchnama) but the same hasn't happened for his second movie. The movie has received lukewarm reviews, but got completely sidelined by the week's big ticket release.
