MUMBAI: Vikram Bhatt’s erotic thriller Hate Story managed to collect approximately Rs 20 million (Rs 2 crores) net on its opening day while Vicky Donor, produced by John Abraham, released on many more screens, managed to net at Rs 18 million (Rs 1.8 crores).
Considering the heavy emphasis on Delhi as location and the Punjabi feel of the movie, Vicky Donor did better in Delhi, and Punjab. The good reviews should lead to a surge in the weekend business.
Hate Story catering more to a mass audience, has fared better in UP, Maharashtra, CP Berar and CI.
