POSTED BY: DESIBUZZCANADA DECEMBER 12, 2016
MUMBAI – Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh’s star power has not been evident in the box office numbers for his new film Befikre, a Yashraj Films release directed by Aditya Chopra, the son and heir apparent of the master of romance Yashraj Chopra.
The film has done only so, so Worldwide even though India is fair, the Overseas markets have not done that well.
The film has done well in Gulf despite a 18 certificate and being banned in Kuwait with business set to be around $800,000 but the other markets have not fared well. US-Canada is $550,000 on a big release while United Kingdom is around £175,000, according to figures posted by Box Office India.
This will take the Overseas business to around $2 million which is same range as Dishoom and Baar Baar Dekho. It will be the 11th best opening overseas this year.
The Overseas business is well short of Aditya Chopra's last film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi which had weekend business of $3.42 million. But that was a Shahrukh Khan starrer despite being eight years back with releases now are much wider.
