Haunted - Echoes Of The Past collected well again on Saturday as it collected 3 crore nett easily coming out on top of all the new releases. the film almost doubled up its collections at the PVR chain as they increased the shows. This is most up market chain but on day two the collections of Haunted Echoes Of The Past and Main Vaapus Aaunga are almost the same. 

There is a 10 lakh gap and this is mainly due to less showcasing but when a film like Haunted - Echoes Of the Past can collect as much as a film like Main Vaapus Aaunga at a chain like PVR it shows how the audience profile has changed today as this would be unthinkable 7-8 years back. The fact that Haunted is better in the Hindi belt is no surprise as that can be expected especially as far as initial goes and it would have been same years back also.

There will be whispers in the industry that the issue here is the audience as they support a lower quality product against a well made film. But cinema in India has never been about which is made better and visually looks better its always about the content and emotion and here Haunted probably has something to get the audience in and also engage them enough for the film to work at its level. Its always the audience which decides what is a good film and what is a bad film and not the industry or people / media who write about films. These are all opinions and have no value whatsoever, only results hold value.

Haunted - Echoes of The Past will score a decent weekend and just needs to follow through with normal trends over the weekdays and will be a success. The collections of the films released this week are as follows.
