HALF GIRLFRIEND had a decent first weekend as it crossed the 30 crore nett mark but considering the start it could have been better. The film has done reasonably well in all circuits with the problem being the Saturday growth. The Sunday figures may have been affected by the IPL final though BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION (Hindi) had no such problems against the cricket match.  A 35 crore nett weekend from a 10 crore nett start would have been a good result for the film and a good hold on Monday could have made it a clean hit but now the Monday hold is needed to become a success. The first weekend collections of HALF GIRLFRIEND are as follows.
Friday - 10,00,00,000
Saturday - 10,25,00,000
Sunday - 10,75,00,000
Grand Total - 31,00,00,000

HINDI MEDIUM had a low first weekend of 11 crore nett though Saturday showed good growth. The film did not follow through on Sunday but that could be due to the IPL final though as mentioned above BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION (Hindi) had no such issues on Sunday. The film has a tax exemption in Maharashtra which has really helped the cause of the film and now it will need Monday to be similar to Friday if it is to have a good run at the box office. The first weekend business of HINDI MEDIUM is as follows.
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,00,00,000
Sunday - 4,75,00,000
TOTAL - 11,25,00,000
----------------------------
HALF GIRLFRIEND had a fair Monday as the film dropped a little over 50% from Friday. The film grossed around 4.75 crore nett which has taken the total of the film to 35.75 crore nett. The film held better at mass centres than the big multiplexes on Monday. The drop is probably the wrong side of 50% for it to have a good run but with there being limited competition in its second week it could be an average runner but that will depend on where the second Friday lands. The Monday is actually better than the weekend trend suggested on which a big drop looked inevitable. The film has fared best in best in Central India and Bihar while East Punjab and Mysore have under performed. The first four day collections of HALF GIRLFRIEND are as follows.
Friday - 10,00,00,000
Saturday - 10,25,00,000
Sunday - 10,75,00,000
Monday - 4,75,00,000
Grand Total - 35,75,00,000

HINDI MEDIUM had a strong hold on Monday as collections went a little higher than Friday on Monday. The film grossed 2.75 crore nett on Monday to take its four day total to 14.25 crore nett which is still a low total but with this strong hold on Monday it is set for a good run over the next few weeks which should mean a good final total. The film has found appreciation in the metros and the tax exemption has helped hugely in Mumbai and Pune which are putting up very strong numbers. Delhi NCR and Bangalore are also doing well. It is going to be the first small niche film that is going to do good business this year so far. The first four day business of HINDI MEDIUM is as follows.
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,00,00,000
Sunday - 5,00,00,000
Monday - 2,75,00,000
TOTAL - 14,25,00,000
