With Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest still dominating worldwide box-office, it has been tough not just for Bollywood, but even Hollywood films to conquer the box-office. The new release, Golmaal - Fun Unlimited, has made it to the 'Top 10' charts in U.K., but the opening weekend collections aren't as impressive. In Australia, however, the film has managed a decent opening.

Weekend: July 14 - 16, 2006.
