HALF GIRLFRIEND Had Good Day One, HINDI MEDIUM Depends On Growth



Both new Bollywood releases opened to decent response and despite continued wave of 'Baahubali Sequel' both the new releases done pretty good numbers.


'Half Girlfriend' was expected to open around 8-9 cr nett but as we predicted film scored 10.27 cr nett on opening day. Film was average in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore but film did very well in smaller towns and mass circuits like CP, CI, UP and Rajasthan.


Film has to grow over weekend and anything in excess of 35 cr nett over weekend will be an ideal result. Word of mouth and reviews will decide Monday numbers and that will hold the key.


Other release 'Hindi Medium' got tax free status in few states and that helped it to muster 2.81 cr nett on opening day. It requires huge growth over weekend in order to come out as winner.
