HATE STORY 3 had a good first week of 35.08 crore nett despite collections dropping on the weekdays. The film has done well in UP, Maharashtra, CP Berar, CI and Nizam but even these areas found it hard to hold in the weekdays. In fact the areas where opening was not so strong were holding a bit better. CP Berar grossed 2.50 crore nett in week one which is a very good total.

The weekend was similar to last years hit RAGINI MMS 2 which was a similar genre but the week ended lower as that film had grossed 37 crore nett in its first week as it held better.

The film should be able to cross the 40 crore nett mark but that will depend on what happens on day eight as there will be a big drop due to dropping weekday collections. But no competition from new releases there should be some respectable collections.
