Angrezi Medium Box Office Day 1: Opens Slightly Better Than Expected

Angrezi Medium Box Office: It was predicted in this column that Angrezi Medium will see an opening of around 3 crores on Friday. But the film has done slightly better as 4.03 crores came in. The film was never expected to be a major opener and was going to be a word of mouth affair. Though it was coming off the success of Hindi Medium, the promo didn’t really give an impression of something extraordinary and hence it all came down to how the critics will receive the film and audience would lap up the final product.

Even otherwise, on a regular Friday too with situation been normal and theaters not shutting down, an opening day of around 5 crores at best was on the cards. Hence, the numbers which have come in are decent as this is the range that one can expect for a content based film like Angrezi Medium. In case of this Irrfan Khan starrer too, the issues are manifold. While virus scare is generally keeping audiences off theaters, shutting down of theaters by the administration is further hampering growth.
