'K.A.N.K.' biggest opener in Overseas!

It's a miracle! It's unbelievable! It's incredible!

Karan Johar's KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA has shattered all previous
records in Overseas and emerged the biggest opener ever. The opening
is higher than the two major openers -- KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM and
VEER-ZAARA.

Agreed, KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA was expected to open big, but the
initial weekend collections have come as a big surprise to all and
sundry. In fact, this writer was the first to predict -- days before
the film hit the screens -- that K.A.N.K. would have the biggest
start in this territory.

It wasn't the Diwali week, which generally witnesses a big jump in
box-office collections. But Karan Johar's new outing has only
reiterated the fact that a good film can survive all
oppositions/loose talk and brave any weather.

Meanwhile, the combined total from the three markets [U.S.A., U.K.,
Australia] is approx. Rs. 13.75 crores in just 3 days.
