Race2 benefits from weak releases
MUMBAI: The much talked about Vishwaroop has not been able to turn the media attention into box office advantage. With a poor opening of Rs 19 million on Friday, the film improved a little on Saturday and peaked on Sunday with Rs 32.9 million to end its opening weekend with Rs 76.6 million. The film is not expected to sustain through the week. The fact that it has been a rainy Monday in Delhi NCR and UP further dampens its prospects in the regions.

Listen Amaya has not been able to find audience, while Mai has been rejected outright by moviegoers.
