De Taali had a dull start in UK

De Taali has had a dull start in U.K. It's the second lowest opener of 2008... Mere Baap Pehle Aap is a surprise success in U.K. The film fell by 45% in its second weekend, which, translated into simple words, means it's faring well here... Dasavatharam [Tamil film] is steady as well... Sarkar Raj is on a decline in U.K. and America.
