Chandni Chowk.. fails to impress the overseas audience

CC2C should have been at par or perhaps more than Rab Ne and Ghajini in the key international markets.

Given the fact that both Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi [Shah Rukh Khan and Ghajini [Aamir Khan have fared very well internationally and Akshay Kumar enjoys tremendous popularity,Chandni Chowk To China should’ve been at par or perhaps more than Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Ghajini in the key international markets.

Given the fact that Warner Bros. had promoted the film like no Hindi film has ever been promoted before [premiere screenings in USA.,Canada and UK.,the opening weekend numbers of Chandni Chowk To China should’ve been the biggest ever for a Hindi film. Let’s not forget that Chandni Chowk To China has also been released at a record number of screens,much more than Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Ghajini can boast of.

But,alas,Chandni Chowk To China has proved a complete downer in the international markets as well. The film has failed to create magic,to put it bluntly. Forget overpowering Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Ghajini,the film is lower than Jodhaa Akbar,Race and Singh Is Kinng too.
