Lack of big releases in the international market is taking its toll. Non-Hindi titles like MINI PUNJAB [Punjabi], TERA MERA KI RISHTA [Punjabi], JAG JEONDEYAN DE MELE [Punjabi] and AYAN [Tamil] are dominating U.K. and U.S. box-office... 8 x 10 TASVEER is on its way out and so are AA DEKHEN ZARA, ALOO CHAAT and EK - THE POWER OF ONE.
Weekend: April 17 - 19, 2009.
