They are by far the most organized and widespread Asian tv channel in the US and Canada (possibly UK too). Ready and all SRK films utilize AVS to really hype their films. AB has interviewed with them before.

nowrunning.com to get a list of all the cinemas playing desi films)...I still think promo items like t-shirts can really work! Father's day this Sunday... Coffee mugs that say "Happy Father's day- Bbuddha Hoga Tera Baap...sorry Dadaji" !!! What do you think?

I would HATE to go watch it without any lines to enter when DELHI BELLY is getting major crowds! The whole masala/action genre doesn't work overseas argument is totally bull! I saw people lined up for Rajneeti/Dabaang/Ready here in the US.
