The film HAQ has recently recorded a net collection of approximately Rs. 1.40 crore on its first Tuesday, showing a nominal increase of about 30 percent compared to the previous day. This rise is particularly noteworthy given the reduction in ticket prices to just Rs. 99 as part of the Blockbuster Tuesday promotion across theater chains. Despite the favorable reception from both audiences and critics, HAQ's numbers have not met expectations, as it was anticipated that the film would exceed its opening day figures with this promotion.
Currently, HAQ's total net collection in the domestic market has reached Rs. 11.35 crore. With prominent performances from actors Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, the film is projected to conclude its opening week with around Rs. 13 crore in net revenue—a figure that is considered underwhelming by industry standards.
Directed by Suparn Varma, known for his work on popular series like The Family Man Season 2, HAQ is set to encounter competition this coming weekend with the release of De De Pyaar De 2. This new film, featuring Ajay Devgn, poses a potential threat to HAQ's box office longevity, making its upcoming performance critical. For HAQ to achieve a respectable total by the end of its theatrical run, it must endure against this competition effectively.
Despite the challenges ahead, the positive word-of-mouth from viewers may help HAQ gain momentum over time. In order to maximize its box office potential, it is crucial for the filmmakers to engage in vigorous marketing efforts for a few weeks to recover a significant portion of the production costs before the movie exits theaters. The film's box office performance will be closely monitored as the situation develops, and updates will continue to follow this evolving story.
