It looks like brand Vidya Balan has become a hit overseas too. Her latest film Kahaani is writing a success story in the foreign markets. In fact, it has surpassed The Dirty Picture's collection in overseas, according to latest reports.

Excited about the film's success, Sujoy Ghosh tells hindustantimes.com, "It just proves that if a film has the support of an audience then it will succeed." "My intention was to make a film and play with the script beautifully, I never thought about the commercial aspect," Ghosh had earlier shared with the website.

The figures "Kahaani has emerged a surprise success in Overseas. The film has managed rock-steady figures in its second weekend [at places, better than opening weekend], taking the 10-day total to Rs 8 cr from seven markets [U.K., U.S.A., U.A.E., Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Pakistan]. Viacom18's strategy has yielded good dividends," writes trade expert Taran Adarsh.
