'Omkara' Below Expectations In U.K., Australia!
The verdict is out: OMKARA has not fully lived up to the mammoth expectations in U.K. and Australia. However, the U.S. figures have yet to be confirmed. Ideally, with a cast like the one in OMKARA and the tremendous hype surrounding the film, the film should've fetched £ 150,000 + in its opening weekend in U.K. and Aus. $ 60,000 + in its opening weekend in Australia.
