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.
