The
much-awaited
Raavan
has
emerged
one
of
the
biggest
setbacks
in
the
key
international
markets.
Besides
a
talked-about
premiere
in
U.K.
before
its
release,
the
film
also
won
rave
reviews
from
reputed
American
critics.
But
the
tremendous
hype
and
the
lavish
praises
haven't
translated
into
excellent
figures.
Given
the
extensive
release
in
the
international
arena,
the
opening
weekend
business
of
Raavan
is
extremely
disappointing
in
the
three
major
markets
-
U.K.,
U.S.A.
and
Australia.
However,
its
Tamil
version,
Raavanan,
has
fared
much
better
in
U.K.
Weekend:
June
18
-
20,
2010.
