Angrezi Medium is one of the better multiplex oriented Bollywood films that hit the cinemas this year. The sequel of 2017 super-Hit film Hindi Medium released amid a good hype and was expected to do more business.
However, as luck had it, the film’s release date clashed with the time when Coronavirus scare in India is in an increasing mode. Before the film hit the cinemas, the audience was in a state of panic. To further increase the woes, theatres in several big cities like Delhi, Mumbai were closed.
This has hit the collections of Angrezi Medium very badly.

The Irrfan Khan, Radhika Madan, Kareena Kapoor Khan & Deepak Dobriyal starrer film opened on March 13 & collected 4.03 crores. The film was hurt by theatres being closed in Delhi but the opening was still better than Hindi Medium. But Saturday onwards, theatres in Mumbai were also shut down followed by Rajasthan and Punjab. The collections obviously dropped heavily and the weekend number is just 10.03 crores.
While the weekend business of Angrezi Medium is very low, it’s almost certain that the film has lost at least 13.5 crores so far.
With all the scare around and theatres in Delhi closed, the film managed an opening of 4.03 crores. If that wasn’t the case, Day 1 could easily have been 5.5 crores. Delhi was a great contributor for Hindi Medium so it would’ve done well for this one too. The film lost 1.5 crores approx here only.
