JAB WE MET continues its successful journey in U.K., garnering excellent collections in its second weekend as well. It’s a smash hit in this part of the world… A Pakistani film, KHUDA KE LIYE, has fetched a fairly decent start in U.K. on limited screens… All eyes are on the two major openers this Friday -- OM SHANTI OM and SAAWARIYA. Unprecedented pre-release promotion coupled with the festive season should ensure a terrific start for the two biggies.
