The Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji starrer Hum Tum has remained on the top 10 chart in the UK for three weeks, coming down by about 32 per cent each week. Last weekend, it slipped from the sixth spot to the seventh with a $110,000 gross and took its three-week total to about $800,000.

Director Govind Nihalani's earlier film Thakshak was a no-winner abroad, and Dev follows in its footsteps. Its lacklustre performance comes soon after Aan, which at least had a solid opening in India, grossed less than $200,000 in North America and had a more disappointing UK run.
In North America, Hum Tum started off at number 21 on the charts and slipped near the 40th position, grossing about $750,000 in three weeks. But it may end its run just shy of the $2 million mark in both North America and the UK.
With Lakshya around the corner, Hum Tum's business will dip considerably. And Dev may pass into oblivion. Hum Tum, though, may continue playing on the weekends in a handful of theaters for many more weeks. It has become a popular date movie, especially with young desis and Trinidadians.
