The collections of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom have registered a drop in the three key international markets in its second weekend. In U.K., the film has had a 53% drop, in Australia it's 55%, while the drop is very severe [70%] in U.S.A.

Sivaji - The Boss is extra-ordinary in U.K., while the critically acclaimed Angelina Jolie starrer A Mighty Heart [co-starring Irrfan Khan and Aly Khan], which was partly filmed in India, hasn't opened to the desired response in U.S.A.

Weekend: June 22 - 24, 2007.
