... Ajay Devgan's U ME AUR HUM drops in the second week, after a below par performance in the first. In trade parlance it is referred to as 'steady on the lower side'. The Ajay-Kajol starrer collected 1.30 crores from Bombay, 33 lakhs from Ahmedabad, 3.60 lakhs from Rajkot, 2.10 lakhs from Jamnagar, 1.75 lakhs (gross) from Bhavnagar, 1.10 lakhs from Gandhidham, 6.40 lakhs from Pune, 1 lakh from Sangli, 3.10 lakhs from Nasik, 70 lakhs from Delhi, 10.85 lakhs from Noida, 6.50 lakhs from Ghaziabad, 3.85 lakhs from Kanpur, 7.80 lakhs from Lucknow, 2.10 lakhs from Agra, 1.50 lakhs from Meerut, 1.25 lakhs from Bareilly, 11.60 lakhs from Gurgaon, 4.50 lakhs from Faridabad, 22.25 lakhs from Calcutta, 1.60 lakhs from Guwahati, 4.60 lakhs from Nagpur, 1 lakh from Amravati, 4 lakhs from Indore, 2.70 lakhs from Jaipur, 14.10 lakhs from Hyderabad and 2 lakhs from Mangalore. During the week, U ME AUR HUM added around 6.75 crores and so far the film has netted 19.25 crores in two weeks from India. With TASHAN unlikely to cut into the business of any film, chances are that the 25-crore U ME AUR HUM may turn out to be a recovery venture by the next week. In the Overseas, U ME AUR HUM has so far grossed a decent $785,430 from the UK and a good $1,028,191 from US. The movie is a good success for its distributors EROS. ...

... From the past
A relatively open week with zero competition coming from HOPE AND A LITTLE SUGAR meant that U ME AUR HUM saw a little less than 50% fall in it's second week. Though Devgans would have expected that due to a controlled released strategy the fall would be much lesser, a large segment of audience which mainly looks for 'dhinchaak' entertainment rather than sensible cinema hasn't quite filled in the auditoriums. Result is that the film did collect 6.5 crores more with it's total reaching 19 crores but that's not the kind of collections which this film deserved.
In Mumbai the film collected 1.25 crores though Delhi remained fairly stable at 70 lakhs. Since TASHAN hasn't been released at multiplexes, it has given U ME AUR HUM a couple of more weeks to breath easy since this Friday's releases are hardly a challenge by themselves. ...

Ajay Devgan's U ME AUR HUM konnte keinen Gewinn daraus machen, dass es an echter Konkurrenz fehlt, und ist in der vierten Woche stark abgefallen. Der Film spielte bisher fast 23 Crore Rupien in Indien ein. Obwohl Ajay und Kajol darin spielen, bleibt er Durchschnitt oder Unter Durchschnitt. U ME AUR HUM ist allerdings in Übersee bereits ein guter Erfolg.

Mit UMAH geht es in Indien so langsam dem Ende zu. Insgesamt hat der Film in Indien knapp 24 Crore eingenommen und es bleibt damit bei der Average-Klassifizierung. In Übersee war UMAH dagegen ein Erfolg.

... Meanwhile U ME AUR HUM had a decent fifth week as well and got another 40 lakhs added to it's collections which now reads 23.5 crores. The film should be ending it's run in the vicinity of this total and would overall enjoy an average tag. Though a section of trade is still challenging it's status as being a success, there is no doubt that Ajay Devgan has ensured a respectable beginning to his direction career. Also, the film has many other avenues (home video, satellite etc.) from where it would continue to earn. Same holds good for KRAZZY 4 which stands at 24.5 crores now and is another average success. ...
Die Zahlen kennen wir ja schon - 23,5 Crore für Indien und Average. Viele bezeichnen den Film als Erfolg, und es ist auf jeden Fall ein respektabler Start für Ajay Devgans Regiekarriere.
