The business slumped to a new low this weekend as the two new releases, MISSION ISTAANBUL and MONEY HAI TOH HONEY HAI, failed to take off in key international markets. MISSION ISTAANBUL is a disaster in both U.K. and U.S.A. The combined total from these two major markets is a shocking Rs. 21.3 lacs only. On the other hand, MONEY HAI TOH HONEY HAI is a washout in U.K. Meanwhile, last week's KISMAT KONNECTION has also taken a fall -- U.K. fell 74% and U.S.A. 77% -- in its second weekend.
