Box Office: Hasee Toh Phasee gets average opening, Heartless flops

Last week saw four movie releases --  Hasee Toh Phasee, Heartless, Babloo Happy Hai and Ya Rab. 

Hasee Toh Phasee did an average business at the box office, but Shekhar Suman's directorial debut Heartless opened to a poor response. The other two films went unnoticed.
