Box Office Report: English Trumps Hindi; Half Girlfriend Earns Way More Than Hindi Medium On Opening Day!
Irrfan Khan and Co may be waging a war against the classist discrimination against the Hindi-speaking, but box office figures from Friday confirm that the prejudice for English continues to rule the common mindset: While Mohit Suri’s Half Girlfriend earned Rs 10.27 crore on day one, Saket Choudhary’s Hindi Medium made a meagre opening collection of Rs 2.81 crore.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#HalfGirlfriend has a STRONG START... Fri ₹ 10.27 cr. India biz. #HindiMedium Fri ₹ 2.81 cr. India biz.”
Hindi Medium, on the other hand, showcases the class struggles of a Hindi-speaking man struggling to find an English medium school for his daughter. It stars Irrfan Khan and Pakistani actor Saba Qamar in lead roles.
