In this box office report we take a look at the collections of both Half Girlfriend and Hindi Medium while comparing the same to the top grossers of 2017. Not surprisingly, Half Girlfriend that has managed to establish a connect with the audience in smaller towns and cities has managed to claim the sixth spot on the list with a collection of Rs. 37.15 cr. On the other hand Hindi Medium that managed to draw in just Rs. 15.71 cr ranks as the fourteenth highest grosser of 2017.

 

Interestingly though, while both films manage to claim position in this list with just their weekend collections, Half Girlfriend and Hindi Medium are expected to grow further in terms of business as the week progresses. But, considering that Half Girlfriend has received mixed reaction, the film will have to rely on positive audience feedback in the coming days, while Hindi Medium whose reactions have been rather positive is expected to fare better.
