Its celebration time for Mira Nair! Her new film THE NAMESAKE [English], starring Indian stars Tabu and Irrfan Khan, has fetched a fantastic start in the U.S. Released on limited screens by Fox Searchlight, the film has won rave reviews, besides grossing an incredible screen average in its opening weekend.

Overseas: 'Namesake' opens very well!

 

THE NAMESAKE is expected to open on 23rd March in India and on 30th March in U.K.


 

Meanwhile, none of the three major releases [RED, 1971, SARHAD PAAR] had a theatrical release in U.K. Despite that, the holdover titles, NEHLLE PE DEHLLA and NISHABD, had no respite. The two releases have only sunk further!
