The overseas market has seen decent results in 2022 and that is adding to the success of SOORYAVANSHI and '83 at the fag end of 2021. There have been eight films which have done decent or better business and they are BRAHMASTRA, LAAL SINGH CHADDHA, GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI, BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2, THE KASHMIR FILES, VIKRAM VEDHA, JUGJUGG JEEYO and EK VILLAIN RETURNS.

The HIT or better films in Overseas are BRAHMASTRA, GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI, BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2, THE KASHMIR FILES and EK VILLAIN RETURNS. LAAL SINGH CHADDHA can be called decent but with Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan, who are the biggest stars by a distant, the number is dull as for these two stars, $10 million should come eyes closed even on bad content.

The performance in overseas is driven by numbers in US/Canada and the market here is very much like a big metro in India. So this pre pandemic content held its audience in US while the Indian market has gone into transformation post pandemic as the importance of centres outside the metros has emerged. BRAHMASTRA is the only film to cross $10 million but CIRKUS with a Christmas release will have to the potential to cross $10 million even though it will be a film more for the mass markets in India. The period will give the film a big boost and it could even challenge BRAHMASTRA if the film is good.
