Box Office: Hindi Medium set for Rs. 60 crore this weekend, Sachin – A Billion Dreams hits Rs. 50 crore mark

By Joginder Tuteja

Box Office Hindi Medium leads again, Sachin - A Billion Dreams is fair

Amongst the Hindi releases of the year, Hindi Medium has now done the impossible as it has turned out to be the fifth highest earner so far. Barring Baahubali 2 [Hindi], the only films that have collections greater than Hindi Medium are Raees, Jolly LLB 2, Badrinath Ki Dulhania and Kaabil, each of which was a star driven affair, had mega crores riding on it, was promoted extensively and then released on a massive number of screens. Other than these four films, at least 25 other notable films have released so far and yet it is Hindi Medium which is reigning supreme. That is superb for a film that is not a quintessential commercial film.

The film has collected Rs. 59 crore so far and would touch the Rs. 60 crore number before the weekend is through. Post that it would chug along further in the week and then the week later too to go past the Rs. 62 crore total of Queen. Both films followed similar trajectory in terms of opening, appreciation and then word of mouth doing the trick, and after the Kangana Ranaut starrer, now the Irrfan Khan and Saba Qamar starrer is gaining the Superhit tag as well.

Another holdover release, Sachin - A Billion Dreams, has done its job too and hit the Rs. 50 crore mark. A docudrama, it has done well primarily on the power of initial which saw Rs. 28.05 crore coming its way. Post that it hung well through the week and then over its second weekend. Even though it lost steam post that, it didn't quite matter since the collections have anyways exceeded expectations. The film may extend up to Rs. 52 crore now as a lifetime run and that's about it. Above average.

All last week's releases, Dear Maya, Dobaara, Hanumaan Da Damdaar and Sweetiee Weds NRI are now almost out of theaters. Flops and disasters.
