.....my phirang friends quite enjoyed the film too...
Doubt Non-Hindi speaking audiences will enjoy the flick. Saw the film with few cinema employees and my mate who manages the place. They decided to see the film after my mate was telling them that this film will bring in lots of Indian film customers, and is the best Hindi cinema has to offer this year (Tut-Tut-Tut). 
All of them found the film too long and quite silly in places. When the songs/or a long winded speech came on they moaned 'Not another one!' I tried to explain to them about how this is what family audiences wanted to see, and how these conventions fit in with bollywood cinema audiences. 
I know it isn't the fact they don't like Indian films, as a couple of them found Aks, Lagaan and even Dil Chatha Hai to be decent flicks and was surprised at the quality of the productions (Gary even bought the original DVDs of DCH, Satya & Nayak off me!). But they feel this film to be so similar to so many other Indian films they see. 
The only ones who enjoied K3G was me and my manager mate and we was the only Asians out of the nine of us there (except for his gf -but she thought the film was 'shite' and left after intermission). Now the rest of the employees are looking forward to thier exclusive showing of LOTR on Wed Morning, which I will also attend (Lucky me).
 Trust me make mates with your local cinema manager and you get loads of benefits  :alien:
