A pleasant surprise!

JANNAT has caught everyone by surprise in U.K. as well. Emraan Hashmi isn't a hot proposition in the Overseas territory, but JANNAT has done exceedingly well for an Emraan Hashmi starrer in U.K., surpassing his biggest opener [AWARAPAN]. Clearly indicates that Emraan is slowly making his presence felt in the international arena as well. Meanwhile, BHOOTHNATH is rock-steady in U.K., but on the lower side. The film has had a 29% fall in its second weekend, which indicates that it is holding on very well. Reportedly, the film is faring better in other international markets.
