Box-office can be most unpredictable and that's the beauty of this business. While everyone was confident that TAXI NO. 9211 would prove to be a success and the much-delayed HUMKO TUMSE PYAAR HAI would go unnoticed, it's proved exactly the opposite in U.K.
TAXI NO. 9211 hasn't found much favor in both U.K. and U.S.A [Australia is slightly better], while HUMKO TUMSE PYAAR HAI has grossed better figures in U.K. Surprised, aren't you? Meanwhile, RANG DE BASANTI has crossed $ 2 million mark in U.S.A.
Weekend: February 24 - 26, 2006.
