HATE STORY 2 did well in its first weekend as it grossed a little over 14 crore nett. The film always had a chance of doing well at single screens but it is the multiplex business which is better than expected and helped to a good first weekend total. The weekend business is as follows.
Friday 4,85,00,000
Saturday 4,30,00,000
Sunday 5,00,00,000
TOTAL 14,15,00,000
The film did not grow much on Sunday as it had nothing for the families. The Sunday collections were similar to day one. The film would have probably emerge a hit if it was not for the release of KICK with collections of 30 crore nett. But now it will have to settle for lower unless it surprises with good numbers after the release of KICK.
-----------------------------
HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA had a good second weekend of around 13.25 crore taking its ten day total to around 64 crore nett. It was again North india leading the way with Delhi/UP grossing nearly 3.50 crore nett and East Punjab around 1.60 crore nett. The drop from first weekend is just a little over 60%.

The film did fall in mass circuits like CP-CI, Nizam and Bihar as these circuits are dominated by single screens and HATE STORY 2 has scored very well in these circuits. The film will cross the 70 crore nett mark but it is likely that KICK will stop it going to 75 crore nett.

HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA is the fourth biggest hit of the year till date after EK VILLAIN, 2 STATES and HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY.
