The business of Hindi films got a big boost with the Idd festivities in Overseas [soon after the Diwali weekend]. It was a long holiday period, stretching up to the current weekend. While Don continued to be the first choice in the three major markets [U.K., U.S.A., Australia] and has benefited the maximum, Jaan-E-Mann showed a gradual rise in its second weekend in both U.K. and U.S.A., which is a rarity.

Weekend: October 27 - 29, 2006.
