We recently told you that the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Swades has opened to smashing box office responses worldwide. The success story continues.

According to reports, Swades has collected $ 1,060,549 upto the third weekend in the United States and in UK the film has collected £ 320,615.




The total in Indian Rupees from US and UK alone is close to 7.25 crores.

In India where the movie isn’t as big a hit as SRK movies normally are, the collections in metros are hovering around 50 to 60 percent. With virtually no competition from the new releases Swades has managed to earn close to 14 crores upto the third weekend and the movie is all set to be at least an average grosser.

Though appreciated by critics, who have also applauded the performance by King Khan, Swades is a classic example of a movie being rejected by the masses in India simply because it is not a typical Bollywood movie where SRK plays a role that is larger than life in which he towers over rest of the cast.

Posted 21 Jan 2005

see, Swades was a hit..Musafir a flop. and u actually proved it right now.

also, ask bout a 1000 people. 90% will say Swades was better anyway.

SanjuBaba says
look up there thats a mistke i made so forget abt that but check those website where i got that it will say its a flop if u don't believe me go check Rediff.com and B4utv.com and its the same website where u got the results from. Look man i am tierd of it what do u want from me 100 times i have proven that its a flop. which 90% people say its a very good movie except so called srk's fans (Yas, Shahukh, and U) and some ohters. The only good abt this movie was it had a nice lesson that u should come back to ur country to help. It would have been a great Documenty but not a full entertainment movie. Look whatever i say i say the truth now unless u have some really nice proof to show don't post any thing plzzzzzzz. I am sure u will act mature and wont post anything non serious. well atleast i hope ur Mature ?? now are u ??
