VIRUDDH has performed way below expectations in the two major markets -- U.K. and U.S.A. The film is enjoying strong reports, but that hasn't translated into strong collections. But there's still hope! The collections may improve since there's no major opposition this week.
Meanwhile, David Dhawan's laughathon MAINE PYAAR KYUN KIYA and Anubhav Sinha's thriller DUS are steady in U.K.
Weekend: July 22 - 24, 2005.
