Once Upon A Time In Mumbai good at overseas BO

Gangster/serious films [Hindi language] have a limited market in key international markets, which is why one wasn't expecting Once Upon A Time In Mumbai to embark on a flying start. However, the film showed a day-wise growth in U.K. [Friday £ 15,755, Saturday £ 19,381 and Sunday £ 19,644] and a decent start in U.S. [approx. $ 1,37,000 at 32 venues]… Last week's Khatta Meetha has had a big fall in U.K. and U.S.A.

Weekend: July 30 - August 1, 2010.
