July 18 saw the films without any big stars releasing at the box office. They include ' Amit Sahni Ki List ', ' Hate Story 2 ' and ' Pizza ' 3D. Released across more than 2000 screens, the erotic-thriller ' Hate Story 2 ' featured the newbie Surveen Chawla and Jay Bhanushali . This love story directed by Vishal Pandya was anticipated to collect around 5 crore nett on day one, as the film managed to get considerably good response at the box office. The film bagged average reviews from the critics.
The other release, ' Amit Sahni Ki List ' featured Vir Das and Vega Tamotia . The movie gave a good laugh to the audience and grabbed mixed reviews from the critics. As usual, Vir showcased his great comic timing on the screen. Nevertheless, ' Amit Sahni Ki List ' could not attract much crowds to the theatres and is expected to collect around 3.4 crore nett on the first day of its release.
Talking about ' Pizza ' 3D, the film was ready to give a dose of horror to the audience, but failed to do so due to non-gripping storyline and the film received not-so-good reviews, reportedly. All the three releases of July 18 faced a tough competition from the last week's release ' Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania '. All they can hope is to incur good figures during the first weekend of their release.
