8x10 Tasveer is an unmitigated disaster overseas

The international business of 8x10 Tasveer has come as a rude shock. The film has under-performed in key international markets. In fact, the opening weekend collections are amongst the lowest of Akshay Kumar's career in U.K. The opening weekend in America is also poor.

Weekend: April 3 - 5, 2009.
