Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na steals the march overseas

The results are out! Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na has stolen the march in the international markets as well. The film is excellent in U.S.A., just about okay in U.K., quite okay in Australia and fantastic in Gulf. UTV, the Overseas distributors, have yet another success on their hand... On the other hand, Love Story 2050 is a major disappointment. It's Harry Baweja's lowest opener in terms of screen average in U.K. [see chart below], while U.S. too has performed poorly.
