HALF GIRLFRIEND had a decent first week collection of 47 crore nett but after a good weekend the film just about managed to stay above water on the weekdays. The film had a noticeable drop on Monday and then normal falls over the weekdays. The film is depending on the second weekend and it makes the second Friday crucial as that has to be decent for it to record respectable second week figures. The main plus for the film is the opening and if it does pull through it will be mainly down to the initial.

HINDI MEDIUM has average first week collections of 23 crore nett but a strong weekday trend which should see a very healthy second week total. In fact it will probably beat the second week of HALF GIRLFRIEND despite the first week only being 50% of HALF GIRLFRIEND. The film has not been appreciated in many areas but has found a strong liking by the metro crowd and that will be more than enough for the film. The tax exemption in Maharashtra has really helped its cause in Mumbai and Pune and Delhi NCR has done well as the film has the local flavour. The film has chances to emerge a HIT depending on the business over the next few days.

HALF GIRLFRIEND picked up another decent number on Saturday with around 10-10.25 crore nett but the problem was that the film was flat and collections similar to Friday. The growth came in metros and Punjab but that was because it had under performed here on day one. The places that started well showed small drops. After the start, the film needed to grow just 15-20% on Saturday to ensure success but that has not happened and now its depending on the weekday business. There is the IPL final which may affect Sunday and the Sunday collections may not have the normal trajectory. The first two day collections of HALF GIRLFRIEND are as follows.
Friday - 10,00,00,000
Saturday - 10,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 20,25,00,000

HINDI MEDIUM showed good growth on Saturday as it collected around 4 crore nett which is 60% higher than Friday. The collections still remain low but the Saturday numbers have given it a chance for a run and now its is about the Monday numbers. This film also may not get the normal Sunday due to the IPL final. The first two day business of HINDI MEDIUM is as follows.
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,00,00,000
TOTAL - 6,50,00,000
