DOSTANA seems least perturbed by the flow of new films. The film continues to dominate for the fourth successive week, although the business has declined quite a bit. It's fantastic in U.K. and good in America... Both OYE LUCKY! LUCKY OYE! and YUVVRAAJ are unmitigated disasters in these two markets... GUMNAM - THE MYSTRY is pathetic in U.K.
Weekend: December 5 - 7, 2008.
