Overseas: Small turns big!

This is one big surprise! Most films sans star-value are released on DVDs in the Overseas territory [they don’t get a theatrical release], but new

entrant Studio 18 decided to release the low-budget HONEYMOON TRAVELS PVT. LTD. in theatres in U.K. and lo! The film has fared exceedingly

well on limited prints. However, Australia hasn’t been as enthusiastic about the film [check opening weekend collections below].

In its second weekend, EKLAVYA – THE ROYAL GUARD has registered a fall in both U.S. and U.K. markets. The combined total from these two

markets at the end of 10 days is Rs. 7.51 crores.
