They are releasing it a week after the release in UAE, also it is still being censored.

saw it today in cineworld, they played it on their smallest screen but was house full nearly, the film seemed to have some scences cut, which i saw in the pirate dvd but not in cinema. also people are saying it will further pick up cos of word of mouth but next week oso and saawariya are releasing, maybe it can benefit from the overflow if oso and saawariya go housefull.

Saw KKl yesterday, its was the Saturaday late night show. They were about 35 people in the hall.
Firstly the film did not have subtitles something which some people who were watching the film complained. Even though the pirate DVD does have subtitles.
2-3 scenes which were on the pirate DVD were cut from the film somehow.
Another thing the Pakistan portion of the film especially the outdoors had a brownish look to it which was not on evident on the DVD.
One thing for sure most people who saw the film with me yesterday infact had seen KKL before on the pirate DVD as most of them even knew the dialogues and the scenes by heart.
Just wished that Geo had not messed up the release of KKL in the UK and the film should have been simultaneously release here when it did in Pakistan.
By the way Yoyo did you watch it at Wandsworth Cineworld.

I also agree with you Pakistani12 £15,000 to £18,000 max. I wish I could agree with you yoyo. At the Odeon Trafford Centre only one show of KKL is being shown daily. Thats going to have an effect on the average screening also.
As I said before Geo have totally messed up the release of KKL in UK. KKL could have easily had become the highest grossing Pakistani film ever.
By the way Zee are currently airing the promos of KKL also but its a bit too late.

actualy pakistanis are not experienced enough in releasing movies abroad,so they endup choosing the wrong time and wrong places...lets hope things will improve with passage of time

This is great news and I have to eat my words.Any how I am really pleased.
Well Geo must be kicking themselves. Had they released the film on schedule and arranged a bigger release the results would have been much better.
A figure of at least £150,000 was achievable. Even know £75,000 - £100,000 is achievable. Lets see whats happens for the rest of thw week and next weekend.
Even yesterday some of friends went to Cineworld Wandsworth and they came back because it was house full.

today i went to the cinema and peaked in to KKL screen well despite om shanti om and saawariya opening, kkl still was nearly housefull, only few front rows were empty, well shows have gone less for the film but its moved to a bigger screen.
