OMKARA continues to meet with diverse reactions! While its business in U.S.A. is heartening, it doesn't enjoy a similar response in U.K. Meanwhile, ANTHONY KAUN HAI?, the new release, has proved a disaster in both U.K. and Australia, while SHAADI KARKE PHAS GAYA YAAR, another new entry, is a failure in U.K., but average in U.S.A.
All eyes are, of course, on Karan Johar's KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA, which is expected to start on a thunderous note.
Weekend: August 4 - 6, 2006.
