The 4-day weekend [Friday to Monday] in U.K. boosted the prospects of TA RA RUM PUM, with the film crossing the half-million mark in 11 days. But the film has registered a steep fall in the U.S. Overall, the film has crossed Rs. 7 crores in 10 days from these two markets alone. A pretty good figure, but quite lower when compared to other Yash Raj totals.
Meanwhile, THE NAMESAKE is heading towards Rs. 50 crores in U.S.A., although it has run out of steam in U.K.
