Posted by s u c c e s s - 0 comments


While KRAZZY 4 has taken a lead over U ME AUR HUM in India, it's exactly the opposite in Overseas. Thanks to Kajol's popularity and also the fact that it's a family film, U ME AUR HUM has embarked upon an impressive start in the international markets. In U.K., U ME AUR HUM has outdone Ajay's previous big openers like OMKARA [£ 91,294], KAAL [£ 1,01,649], KHAKEE [£ 87,379], LAJJA [£ 1,23,160] and DIL KYA KARE [£ 97,776], thus proving to be Ajay's biggest opener in U.K. In the U.S. too, U ME AUR HUM has taken a good start. On the other hand, KRAZZY 4 is strictly average in U.K. and fairly good in America.
