Mixed Response To ‘Lucky’!

The Salman Khan starrer LUCKY has met with mixed reactions in the international circuit. While its business in U.K. is much better, it's not as heartening in U.S. and Australia. Meanwhile, K. Asif's classic MUGHAL-E-AZAM is rock-steady in both U.K. and U.S. markets, despite strong oppositions from Hindi and English releases. But the surprise is TANGO CHARLIE, which has picked up in U.K. The collections of the film have registered a big jump!

Weekend: April 8 - 10, 2005.
