Generally, films starring newcomers don’t get a theatrical release in major international markets, but Eros’ strategy of releasing VICKY DONOR in major markets [U.K., U.S.A., U.A.E., Australia] has paid off. The business of this film witnessed day-wise growth and the weekend figures have been very encouraging. In fact, the response to VICKY DONOR should prompt film-makers/studios to release hi-concept films, which don’t boast of star names, in theatres internationally
