Vicky Donor collections pick up at box office

Last Friday's release Vicky Donor is being widely appreciated for its fresh content. Its box office collections have picked up impressively since it opened, with Sunday collections almost double of Friday's.

The other release Hate Story managed to lure audiences into theatres with its bold posters and promos but its poor content dashed the film's chances at the box office.

Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives the box office verdict.
