Haq falls behind

As per the Indian box office reports, Haq has been trumped by the sci-fi Hollywood film, Predator: Badlands. Opening with Rs 2.4 crore, it jumped to Rs 3.52 crore on Saturday. The combined collection for the Elle Fanning headliner was slightly above Haq in the Indian theatres. However, Haq has crossed the Sonakshi Sinha-Sudheer Babu starrer, Jatadhara, by a huge margin. The supernatural thriller has collected Rs 1.96 crore in two days.
