TASHAN is one of the major disasters in Overseas. The film fell by 67% in U.K. and 81% in America in its second weekend, clearly proving that the paying public has rejected the film. TASHAN easily ranks amongst the lowest grossers of Yash Raj. Meanwhile, Tamil film KURUVI was the first choice of moviegoers in U.K., while MR. WHITE MR. BLACK is a box-office dud.
