    ‘Couples Retreat’, Oscar winner musician A.R. Rahman’s first venture into mainstream Hollywood, has reportedly crossed the 100 million dollar mark at North American box office.

    This about 113 minutes comedy, which was released worldwide starting October eight in Australia and New Zealand and October nine in USA, has reportedly grossed over 102 million dollars domestically besides over 20 million dollars overseas.

    Shot in Tahiti (French Polynesia) and USA, it revolves around four couples who go to a tropical-island resort for vacationing.

    It is yet to be released in many countries.

    Acclaimed Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it proved that Hollywood-Bollywood marriage could bring desired results at box office also.

    Zed, who is chairperson of Indo-American Leadership Confederation, hoped that more creative-technical-financial alliances would be formed between Hollywood and Bollywood in the coming future.
