Angrezi Medium box office day 1: Irrfan, Kareena Kapoor film makes ₹4.03 crore amid coronavirus crisis, online leak
Angrezi Medium box office day 1: The Irrfan Khan starrer has suffered owing to coronavirus outbreak; the film has made ₹4.03 crore.
Actor Irrfan Khan’s comeback film, Angrezi Medium, registered a dull start at the box office. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film made ₹4.03 crores on its opening day.

Tweeting about it, he wrote: “#AngreziMedium Fri ₹ 4.03 cr. #India biz.Note: Biz has been severely affected due to closure of cinema halls in several states. #CoronaVirus #COVID19.”
The film has been hit by closure of cinema halls in important centres like Delhi NCR. To add to its woes, Angrezi Medium got leaked online on the day of its release. According to a report in India Today, the film was reportedly available to watch in the highest qualities on torrent website Tamilrockers and streaming website Telegram.
The film tells the story of a father, played by Irrfan, hailing from middle-class small town background, who will go to any extent to fulfill the dreams of his daughter (played by Radhika Madan). It also stars Kareena Kapoor, Deepak Dobriyal, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Tripathi in important roles.
Angrezi Medium received mixed reviews by critics. Writing about it, the Hindustan Times review said, “Angrezi Medium, a potentially good film, falls prey to poor execution and a weak screenplay. And in the end, it is power packed performance from Irrfan and Deepak that saves this sinking ship and lets it sail through.”
Baaghi 3, which released the week before, too, has been hit by the above mentioned developments. The film has collected an estimated ₹1.5-2 crore nett taking its overall tally to ₹92.17 crore. It is impressive given that the fear of coronavirus and the state governments decisions to shut down cinema halls in Delhi and Mumbai.
