starrer romantic drama "Half Girlfriend" has got off to a decent start
at the box office by collecting Rs 10.27 crore on its opening day.
"We are ecstatic at this opening figure. 'Half Girlfriend' has not only
managed to stand out with its immense hype and pre-buzz, but also
recorded a fantastic opening of Rs 10.27 crore, in the face of the
‘Baahubali' wave and the IPL match factor," Shreyans Hirawat of NH
Studioz, the company that is distributing the film nationwide, said in
a statement.
"The audiences have spoken and have thronged theatres giving the film a
massive initial. ‘Half Girlfriend' was the only film that had managed
to stand out and has seen solid growth through the first day across
centres," Hirawat added.
"Half Girlfriend", which released on Friday in 2500 screens across
India, is an adaptation of author Chetan Bhagat's novel of the same
name.
Meanwhile, Irrfan Khan's "Hindi Medium", which was in competition with
"Half Girlfriend", has Rs 2.81 crore on its opening day.
Made on a budget of Rs 22 crore, "Hindi Medium" has already recovered
Rs 15 crore from digital, satellite, music and overseas rights.
