Mumbai: Yash Raj Films has released DVDs and VCDs of Dostana and Roadside Romeo. It is a simultaneous launch of both the formats in India for the first time for the production house.

The double-disc DVD Pack of Dostana has the film with optional subtitles in five languages -- English, Arabic, Dutch, Tamil and Telugu.

Not many know that Abhishek Bachchan is an avid basketball fan and follows the American NBA league religiously. The actor keeps track of games on his Mac laptop.

So when the climax of Dostana was supposed to be shot amidst a basketball game, director Mansukhani got valuable advice from Junior Bachchan. Says Mansukhani, “He gave me lots of names, but all the teams are corporate owned. Therefore there was a long chain of permissions. It was too tedious, so I gave up. Eventually we shot with the college teams from the University of Miami.” -Indiatimes

MUMBAI: Dharma Productions' Dostana, which released on 14 November, has received a warm opening across multiplexes in the country.

The movie is running at an average occupancy of 75 - 80 per cent and even has houseful shows on Friday morning across various properties.

Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra’s friendship has proved fruitful at the box office, not just in India but overseas as well.

In UK the opening weekend collections are 330 thousand pounds. The Friday and Saturday figures in USA at $442 thousand have beaten Race ($397 thousand). In UAE the movie has registered $597 till Saturday. That happens to be the biggest opening for any Indian movie in UAE this year. In fact it has even exceeded the first week collections of Singh Is Kinng. The press abroad too has only good things to say about the movie.

The first results are out and after an excellent multiplex start in India, Karan Johar's Tarun Mansukhani directed DOSTANA has impressive numbers to show from the Overseas circuit.

To get into the details, the Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Bobby Deol (special appearance) starrer has appealed more to the US audience (gross wise) as compared to those in the UK.

Mumbai: Dharma Productions' Dostana has grossed Rs 450 million (Rs 45 crores) worldwide with print count of 925 including digital.

The film released worldwide on 14 November with paid previews on 13 November night. In Dubai, the film released on 13 November with paid previews one night prior.
