'Hindi Medium' box-office collection Day 1

Irrfan Khan starrer 'Hindi Medium' has been the much-awaited flick of the season. Helmed by Saket Chaudhary, the film has had a slow start at the box office.
According to a report on BoxofficeIndia.com, the film has amassed as much as Rs 2.50 crore on day one of its release. 'Hindi Medium' holds a mirror up to our society, where the ability to speak English is the yardstick to measure sophistication and elitism.

The slice-of-life comedy, also featuring Saba Qamar, is the story of thousands of Indian parents, who aspire to enrol their children in an English medium school. It not only explores the Hindi-versus-English divide, but also conveys the message to eradicate the tendency to pitch one against the other.
