Yesterday we saw the release of Saif Ali Khan-Rani Mukerji collaboration Bunty Aur Babli 2, which was expected to start off on a solid note. The first film in this franchise released 12 years ago and it seems that all those times were not enough for people to forget about how poorly it turned out. It opened up in 700 theaters internationally but got just as bad of reviews and an equally bad word-of-mouth campaign going for it. Despite this, what is also puzzling is that its box office numbers are actually lower than even the original Bunty Aur Babli!
So below are the stats for overseas markets from Day 1.
