Gurinder
Chadha's
much-awaited
film
It's
A
Wonderful
Afterlife
has
under-performed
in
U.K.
Talking
strictly
from
the
business
point
of
view,
several
Bollywood
biggies,
starring
SRK,
Aamir
and
Akshay
in
particular,
have
fetched
a
far
better
start
on
limited
screens
than
It's
A
Wonderful
Afterlife,
which
opened
in
295
screens.
Even
otherwise,
when
you
compare
the
opening
weekend
numbers
of
It's
A
Wonderful
Afterlife
with
Gurinder's
earlier
films
–
Bride

Prejudice
[£

and

[£

-
the
opening
weekend
numbers
of
It's
A
Wonderful
Afterlife
are
extremely
disappointing
[£
