In Bollywood, we see some erotic films doing extra ordinarily at box office irrespective of what reviews say. Highly sensual promos of "Hate Story 3" seem to have worked with the audiences as the film has hit theatres today.

Spicy glamour show of Salman Khan's heroines Zarine Khan and Daisy Shah in most revealing outfits is working in the movie's favour it seems. Released in close to 2500 screens across India, the film opened to 55-60% occupancy in B & C centres, while the A centres registered 40% occupancy. If the trends continue to hold and the film picks up in the evening shows, there is a likelihood that collections may touch up to 7-8 crores gross on Day one.

Coming to the film, some critics liked it while some blasted it for poor story.
