Angrezi Medium Box Office collection Day 1: The Irrfan Khan starrer takes a low opening due to Coronavirus outbreak

Irrfan Khan, Radhika Madan and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Angrezi Medium was the most anticipated film of the year. This was a comeback film for Irrfan Khan and is a spin-off of the 2017 film Hindi Medium. The story is about a native Haryanvi businessman who tries to send his daughter to London for achieving a degree in the English Language. The film released yesterday and it took a low opening, all thanks to the Coronavirus outbreak. The theatres in many states have been shut down and hence the film has suffered at the box office. The official Twitter handle of Maddock Films have announced that the film has collected Rs. 4.03 crore on its first day. However, the opening is still higher than Hindi Medium, which had collected 2.81 cr nett on day 1. Angrezi Medium had received mixed revies from the critics as well as the audience.

Not just the Coronavirus scare, the film was also leaked online on its first day itself by Tamilrockers. On Friday, hours within the release of Angrezi Medium, the film was leaked online by TamilRockers. This is another reason why the film saw a dull start. This is a more expensive film at a landing cost of 40 cr (including P & A), so recovery will be difficult if it doesn't trend well. This will be Radhika Madan's third film and and her reaction after watching the trailer of the film was priceless. In an exclusive interview with us, Radhika revealed her FIRST reaction to the trailer of Angrezi Medium: "When I saw the last 10 seconds of the trailer and the names of the star cast, I completely forgot the entire trailer and started crying. It is my dream. I am living my dream. And I think there's no more beautiful a feeling than that. After the film ended, I realized this was my dream and it has come true." She also credited Irrfan Khan for helping her out during the process of the film, saying that It wasn't tough as Irrfan sir became her father, citing how he wasn't an actor, but the character. Radhika elaborated how she'd only react to him as Tarika, which made everything easy for her. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Radhika recalled the first time she met Irrfan. She said, "His performances in Maqbool and Paan Singh Tomar are my favourites. We met a couple of times for readings before shooting began. The first thing I said to him was, 'Hello pappa'. He is extremely sweet, warm and endearing."
