Overseas: Business slumps badly!

 

Business continues to be low-key. Last week’s AAJA NACHLE registers a 50% + drop in U.K. and U.S.A., while the two new releases, DUS Overseas: Business slumps badly!

 

KAHANIYAAN and KHOYA KHOYA CHAND, haven’t done much to make the mood upbeat. DUS KAHANIYAAN is below average in U.S.A., but is a

 

disaster in U.K. On the other hand, KHOYA KHOYA CHAND is a washout in U.K. It has made its way into the lowest openers of 2007 here [see chart

Weekend: December 7 – 9, 2007.
