Here's
something
to
cheer
about!
The
business
of
Hindi
films
has
shown
an
upswing
of
late,
in
both
U.K.
and
U.S.
territories.
In
U.K.,
Fanaa
has
crossed
£
1
million,
which
is
one
big
achievement.
In
the
U.S.
too,
the
film
is
expected
to
touch
$
2
million
by
next
weekend,
which
is
fabulous.
The
combined
total
from
these
two
markets
has
crossed
Rs.
17.75
crores.
Also, Phir Hera Pheri is a big success in U.K., while Chup Chup Ke is rock-steady in both U.K. and U.S. territories. The John Abraham-Lisa Ray starrer Water is also having a dream run in U.S.A. And with the keenly-anticipated Krrish arriving this Friday, the Overseas territory is back on the tracks!
