Half Girlfriend drops on 2nd Friday, Hindi Medium emerges a hit

‘Hindi Medium’ has emerged a ‘hit’ at the box office, as the film has collected almost the same on its 2nd Friday as compared to its opening day business last week. It’s the first film this year that has powered its way through on the strength of word-of-mouth.

The film, which has sustained very well inspite of competition from various other films, has already collected 28 crore in 8 days at the box office and the lifetime total of ‘Hindi Medium’ could well be in 55 crore plus range by the end of its run.

The other release last week, ‘Half Girlfriend’ has shown a big drop in business on its 8th day and the film now heads towards lifetime business of around 60 crore. It’ll be an ‘average’ grosser at best from here. The film itself hasn’t found pan-India acceptance and the timing of release – along with competition from better films has made a signficant dent into its business.

‘Half Girlfriend’ will be the third highest grosser of Arjun Kapoor’s career after ‘2 States’ and ‘Gunday’.

  • sad day for arjun fans like me..had such high expectations from arjun post 2 States GUNDAY success bt despite his best efforts his choice if heart hearted scripts has let him down. He was ahead of varun till 2014 may bt luk how big varun has become while arjun’s career has come to a halt?. anyways hoping for the best

    congrats irrfan for the super success of hindi Medium. u deserve it all. also sachin should emerge a big hit si great news for bollywood as small films are again doing well

  • Wohooo .. Faith in Indian audience restored ??????
    Irrfan khan deserves this success.. Nepotism kapoors dont !!

  • #HindiMedium is really very nice. Very funny one liners.. all four – Irfan, Saba Qamar Deepak and amrita singh did a good job..

    Highly recommended

  • So it is proved that it is not about small film or big film. It is about content. Good content will always work.

  • bad luck for half girlfriend team,the release date which was luking perfect before the start of the year has turned out to be the main villain (alot of ppl will say that it doesn’t matter n if film is gud ppl will watch it but I disagree,HG was an average to above average film so release period let down film big time)….
    Bahubali wave did affect HG business but, it’s Hindi Medium which dented majorly in half girlfriend business bcus if HM had not released alongside HG it would have added atleast 10-12Cr in HG collections….
    if Badrinath ki dulhania would have released on 19th may it would have done lifetime business of max 80Cr so they were smart to release it in March when there was no competition….
    anyway feeling bad that HG is not hit,it wasn’t? that bad as it was made out by critics

  • this@arjun yungistaan is not a fan of arjun i can gurantee! ARJUN kpur IS doing well so far, varun’s dishoom did only 67.. but he is trying to show arjun a flop actor oversmartly..

  • u shld post jolly2 highest TRP of 3.83 in 2017..beating sultan kaabil …plz

  • So Hindi Medium is the second offbeat film to achieve hit status in 2017 after Jolly LLB 2.

  • Irrfan is quite surprising at the Box office. Last time, Talvar despite competition from a big film like SIB exceeded all expectations. And now, Hindi Medium lifetime will be almost equal to Half Girlfriend.

  • Irrfan should also be a part of commercial films like Nawazuddin Siddique. He was excellent in Thank You, terrific comic timing, overshadowed even Akki in a few scenes. I hope he also chooses universal films, mostly supporting roles like in Thank You.

  • @Toilet Sunny Akkiholic
    Keep being happy with TV ratings. And yes Uday Chopra in Dhoom-3 type role in Robot 2.O

    Jolly beat Sultan in TV. What a joke!!!

  • Watched Half Girlfriend!
    What a pakau movie..
    The lead two actors were decent, the rest all elements were boring ..
    @indicine gave it 3/5.. LoL..

  • Good. Great going Shraddha……without backup from media houses, this girl is on her own.

    The audience loves her……no fake PR drama and media stunt to create artificial hype……..!!

    No one backed her……..seriously, who will back Shakti Kapoor’s daughter..?

    She is the only genuine actress with a filmy background who has risen on her own……..and hopefully by the grace of God, she will rise higher.
