Paa under performs in the overseas BO

While Paa may be faring exceptionally well in India, it hasn't met the desired expectations in the international markets. The film showed an upward trend on Saturday and was better than Friday on Sunday in both U.S.A. [$ 55,690; $ 86,636; $ 56,902] and U.K. [£ 17,120; £ 27,085; £ 22,383], but the business isn't in sync with the tremendous appreciation for the film. Australia too is below par... Radio is a supreme disaster in U.K. In fact, it's the lowest opener of 2009 there [see chart below]... Last week's De Dana Dan had an 85% fall in U.S., 75% fall in U.K. and 68% fall in Australia.

Weekend: December 4 - 6, 2009.
