Filmmaker Vikas Bahl's romantic comedy film `Shaandaar` starring Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt has received an overwhelming response in global markets. The film has collected $2.1 million during its opening weekend.

`Shaandaar`, which released on Thursday on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, is doing well internationally. The film's opening weekend collection internationally is the highest for Shahid, read a statement.

The film collected $449,556 in the US and $258,519 in Britain. In Pakistan, where `Shaandaar` released on Sunday, the film did well as it collected $64,400.

Some of Shahid's other films which did well abroad during their run include `Haider` ($2.2 million), `Phata Poster Nikhla Hero` ($1.1 million) and `R... Rajkumar` ($1.5 million).


However, `Shaandaar`, which also stars Pankaj Kapur, Sanjay Kapoor and Sanah Kapoor, among others, didn't get a good response at the Indian box office as its collections dwindled over the weekend, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

`#Shaandaar Thursday Rs.13.10 crore (holiday), Friday Rs.7.55 crore, Saturday Rs.6.75 crore, Sunday Rs.6.11 crore. Total: Rs.33.51 crore. India biz. DISAPPOINTING,` Adarsh tweeted.

`#Shaandaar is a FIASCO. Biz continued to dwindle, with Saturday and Sunday offering no respite. The film has been rejected,` he added.
