This week saw three releases and all three were adult releases, Angry Indian Goddesses, Hate Story 3 and Kajarya. Hate Story is a successful franchise with the first two films doing pretty well and Hate Story 3 is another erotic thriller like the first two though with a bigger budget and probably more successful music than the first two which has enabled the film to get a good 30-35% opening on average.
The opening is better in certain centres where this genre does better but generally the opening is good and will easily surpass the start of Hate Story 2 which collected 4.50 crore nett on its opening day.
The main objective of the film is to keep this momentum into the evening and into Saturday as sometimes this genre does not go far after the initial. The film will have limited revenue from satellite and Overseas so it is about recovering the 20 crore odd investment from India theatrical and then music can be the plus. The film has a wide release of 2500 screens. Angry Indian Goddesses opened poorly at around 5% but was still much better than Kajarya which had no audience.
