Khoobsurat
Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan starrer "Khoobusrat" has underperformed at the domestic box office, but the film is creating records at Pakistan's box office.
Khan's debut Bollywood film raked in ₹ 1 crore (₹10 million) on a non-holiday weekday. This is the first time any movie has collected such huge amount on a weekday at Pakistan's box office.
"No film has ever made ₹10 million (₹ 1 crore) on a non-holiday weekday and this is the first time this has ever happened," Amjad Rasheed, owner of the IMGC entertainment company, told Press Trust of India.
