Director duo Abbas-Mastan 's racy thriller Race has hit the box office jackpot, grossing Rs.700 million across India within 10 days of its release.
Produced by Tips Films , 'Race' is also faring well in the overseas markets, fetching Rs.200 million for the distributor so far. It occupies 18th position in the US box-office chart and 9th in Britain.
The movie's collection in Mumbai itself hovers between 80 to 85 percent.
The audiences have particularly appreciated the slick production values of 'Race', even though the content is rather weak.
Its box-office success has retrieved the slipping career of the director duo who had been trying hard for a hit after Naqaab .
After getting the domestic box-office all to itself for one week, its collections in Mumbai slumped a little when One Two Three was released last week. But being a comedy, it could not wean away a big chunk of the audience from 'Race', a lavishly mounted thriller.
Apart from being crammed with unexpected twists and turns 'Race' is a fine entertainer with pretty good action sequences and some good music.
