HINDI MEDIUM scored very well in its second weekend as it grossed 10.85 crore nett apprx compared to the 11.79 crore nett in its first weekend which is a drop of 8%. The film came into its own over the weekdays and has continued that run in the second week. The film has found an audience in the metros and these metros will keep it going for a few weeks and could even go close to 50 crore nett. Mumbai circuit is best due to the tax exemption in Mumbai and Pune. The business till date of HINDI MEDIUM is as follows.
First Week - 23,25,00,000
Friday - 2,35,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 3,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Second Weekend - 10,85,00,000 apprx
GRAND TOTAL - 34,10,00,000 apprx

HALF GIRLFRIEND had a big drop in its second weekend as it grossed around 4.75 crore nett. The business was down 85% and with this drop the lifetime business looks to be around 55 crore nett. The film could not compete with the films around it like BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, SACHIN: A BILLION DREAMS and HINDI MEDIUM and needed a solo second week or weaker competition to cross 60 crore nett. The business of HALF GIRLFRIEND till date is as follows.
First Week - 46,00,00,000 apprx
Friday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
Second Weekend - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Grand Total - 50,75,00,000

HINDI MEDIUM had an excellent second Friday of 2.25-2.50 crore nett apprx which has taken its eight day total to around 24.50 crore nett. There is hardly any drop from day one and this has come despite the competition from SACHIN: A BILLION DREAMS and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: SALAZAR'S REVENGE. The film came into its own over the weekdays and has continued that run in the second week. The film will have a very strong second week which should be similar to the first weekend but the weekdays may be lower compared to the first week. Overall the film is a success and could even go to 50 crore nett in terms of lifetime which would mean its costs more or less covered by India theatrical.

HALF GIRLFRIEND dropped on its eighth day with collections in the 1.25-1.50 crore nett region. The film has collected around 48.50 crore nett till now but this low eighth day makes it tough the film. The film could not collect in the face of competition and probably needed a clearer run in the second week to hold. The film should jump well on Saturday but the weekend is going to remain low. The film has suffered with low collections in Delhi city and East Punjab especially the latter. With these not doing too well, the multiplex business is always on the lower side and eventually its multiplexes which will sustain this type of film.
