The latest releases are a no-show at the overseas ticket windows with ‘Big Brother’ managing to get a release in the UK whereas, Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee couldn’t even get a release here. The past week’s releases are still doing well with ‘The Namesake’s thunderous business in US and even in Australia. Provoked continues to do well in UK. On the other hand, a masal flick like Namastey London is a smash hit across both UK and US.
