Blame it on bharpoor skin show or the other insipid choices at the movie screens, Urvashi Rautel's sexed up thriller Hate Story 4 has opened decently at the Box Office. The film has raked in Rs 4 crore on day 1, clearly proving that sex does sell on the ticket windows.  Urvashi Rautela is a huge draw the boys and the men and her sizzling screen presence has manged to draw audiences in the movie halls. What has worked in favor of this movie is that it was pitted against not so exciting options such as Dil Junglee and 3 storeys.

Hate Story 4 has only garnered mix reviews but audiences gave a thumbs up to this thriller with the morning occupancy remained slightly better than the evening shows thanks to the youngsters preferring to watch this movie that boasts the occupancy of 30-40 per cent for the morning shows alone.

Dil Junglee starring Tapsee Pannu and Saquib Salim has not manged to get impressive number of eyeballs.  The film has received not so fabulous reviews from the critics or cinegoers. The romcom has manged to net a little over Rs 50 lakh. Romantic comedies are not exactly working at the ticket windows and it has been proven quite shockingly that this genre is dwindling. Tapsee Pannu who had a good run at the Box Office with Pink, Naam Shabana and Judwaa 2 had to take a beating with this one!

3 Storeys featuring Sharman Joshi has failed to get any attention either. It has failed to reach even Rs 40 Lakh mark. Hate Story 4 has positioned itself well to gain advantage as it had no threat of clashing against any mighty production.
