Bollywood continues its victorious march in U.K. For the third consecutive week, as many as four films have featured in this week's 'Top 15' charts. The new release, MAINE PYAAR KYUN KIYA, has opened to a heartening response, but when compared to DD-Salman's last hit, MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI, the opening is quite lower. But at par with Salman's last release, LUCKY - NO TIME FOR LOVE.
In the U.S., Asif Kapadia's Irrfan Khan starrer THE WARRIOR has embarked on a decent start on limited prints. The other releases, PAHELI and PARINEETA, are holding well here.
Weekend: July 15 - 17, 2005.
