Dostana continues to dominate

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... Gumnaam - The Mystery is pathetic in U.K.

Weekend: December 5 - 7, 2008.
