| BACHNA AE HASEENO is below expectations in Overseas. Released extensively in the major markets, the film has not lived up to the humungous expectations in U.K. [surprisingly, below average], U.S.A. and Australia… GOD TUSSI GREAT HO is a complete fiasco in U.K. and America. A supreme disaster… SINGH IS KINNG continues to rule; it's the biggest Hit of Akshay Kumar internationally. By the time you're reading this, the film would've crossed 1 million in U.K. [superb], while U.S. is nearing $ 2 million [fantastic] and Middle East has crossed AED 3 million [excellent]. Australia is equally strong. It continues to be in the 'Top 20' list.
