Hate Story 2 earns 5.46 crore, Humpty Sharma is a smash hit!

With none of the big stars missing from the marquee this Friday, expectations from the box office were none too high. Three films that released this weekend included Hate Story 2, Pizza 3D and Amit Sahni ki List.

However, Hate Story 2 surprised with its good run at the BO on day one of its release. It made a respectable Rs. 5.46 crore on Friday and this erotic thriller starring Jay Bhanushali and Surveen Chawla seems to be set for a decent run.
