Half Girlfriend
Half Girlfriend has been inspired from the famous novel by Chetan Bhagat. This Shraddha kapoor & Arjun kapoor starrer did not make a huge impact on the box office. But, they do share a very good chemistry in the film and enjoy a huge fan following. This factor has contributed greatly to a really strong start. On Friday, the film minted 10.27 crores, which is actually good enough for the starting weekend.
The public hopes that the collections increase on Saturday. It looks like Shraddha kapoor’s magic really worked here. This film did not impact the box office as expected, but definitely has that potential on account of its brilliant songs and good chemistry between the two protagonists.
Hindi Medium
Hindi Medium starring Irrfan Khan and Saba Qamar has received quite a poor opening day which has been recorded as the 15th Highest of 2017. The first day Collections are at 2.81 Crore net Producer Figures and about 2-3 Crore nett estimate figures. On comparing this to most of the 2017 movie releases it is still the 15th highest which is actually pretty poor.Generally, Irrfan Khan movies have never opened that well considering his best opening as a hero being Piku at 5.3 Crores which also had Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan.
Hindi Medium was found to be much lower than both Half Girlfriend and Baahubali 2 on its opening day, taking the opening collection into consideration. Hindi Medium is basically a word of mouth movie and one can only hope that it should show better results if the word of mouth is good, despite the reviews not looking that good so far.
