Hate Story had a similar Saturday to its Friday as it collected around 1.90-2 crore nett as per early estimates compared to the 2 crore nett on its first day. The film held up well at most centres outside the metros but there is no growth in the big multiplexes of Mumbai and Delhi.

The second day hardly showed any growth at Mumbai and Delhi multiplexes and the ones that were better than Friday were still at very low levels.

Hate Story is performing well outside the multiplex dominated circuits and may sustain throughout the weekdays at these places. The Saturday figures from a few circuits are as follows.

Delhi/UP 35 (33)

East Punjab 11 (9)

Bihar - 8 (10)

CP Berar 10 (13)

Rajasthan - 9 (10)

Friday numbers in brackets. All figures in lakhs.

Hate Story did fair business in its first weekend as it grossed around 6.50-6.75 crore nett. The film did well in places like Gujarat, Maharashtra, UP, West Bengal, Bihar, CP Berar, CI and Nizam especially single screens in these areas and even multiplexes in these areas were okay.

Multiplexes of the big metro cities had dull business throughout the weekend. The trending was not great over the weekend but as the business of the film is dominated by the smaller centres it was also going to struggle to show huge growth.

The film will have to do most of its business in its first week as Tezz releasing on Friday will replace it at most of the good collecting single screens that Hate Story is been screened on at present.

Hate Story sustained pretty well on Monday as it collected around 1.25 crore nett as per early estimates. The film has now collected nearly 8 crore nett in four days. The week can come in close to 11 crore nett which would be pretty good.

Single screens continue to do pretty good business while multiplexes also sustained on Monday but are at low levels.

Hate Story may find it hard in week two though as the acceptance of Vicky Donor in the North will help that film in week two in the face of stiff competition but it will be a different story for Hate Story as single screen exhibitors opt for Tezz at their theatres.
