<i>Anthony Kaun Hai</i> fails, <i>SKPGY</i> holds its own

Omkara continues to meet with diverse reactions! While its business in U.S.A. is heartening, it doesn't enjoy a similar response in U.K. Meanwhile, Anthony Kaun Hai?, the new release, has proved a disaster in both U.K. and Australia, while Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar, another new entry, is a failure in U.K., but average in U.S.A.

All eyes are, of course, on Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, which is expected to start on a thunderous note.

Weekend: August 4 - 6, 2006.
