Overseas Box Office: Aa Dekhen Zara and Ek – The Power of One poor in international markets
Talking about Film Trade (overseas):
Last week’s releases – Ek – The Power of One and Aa Dekhen Zara opened poorly in international markets. ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’ in UK and Australia appeared a weak enterprise whereas ‘Ek – The Power of One’ emerged the lowest opener in UK. In international circuits, Bollywood films have not been getting good profits. The reason is ofcourse the poorly made films. ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ continues to chew up profits.
