By Madhuri
Rani
Mukerji
is
back
on
the
big
screen
after
a
sabbatical
of
four
years
with
Siddharth
P.
Malhotra's
Hichki.
The
film
has
the
actress
essaying
the
role
of
a
teacher
suffering
from
Tourette's
syndrome.
Initially,
Hichki
opened
on
a
dull
note
in
the
morning
shows.
However,
it
picked
up
business
in
the
evening
shows
and
ended
up
minting
an
impressive
opening
collection
of
Rs.
3.30
crores
on
Friday.
Trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
had
tweeted,

Now
as
per
early
estimates,
due
to
great
reviews
and
positive
word-of-mouth,
Hichki
has
grossed
approx.
Rs.
5.25
crores
on
Day
2.
Speaking
about
the
success
of
Hichki,
Rani
had
shared,
"With
the
incredible
love
that
audiences
have
showered
on
Hichki
and
on
me,
they
have
proven
that
for
them
good
cinema
and
good
performance
is
the
only
thing
that
matters
-
not
marital
status,
not
parenthood.
They
have
made
me
incredibly
emotional.
Audiences
have
celebrated
working
mothers
today
and
I
will
be
forever
thankful
to
them.
I'm
grateful
to
my
director
Siddharth
P.
Malhotra
and
my
producer
Maneesh
Sharma
for
giving
me
a
project
that
will
forever
be
the
most
special
film
of
my
career."
Meanwhile,
Ajay
Devgn
starrer
Raid
faces
a
decline
in
its
business
at
the
start
of
Week
2.
The
film
has
grossed
a
total
of
Rs.
66.60
crores
in
two
weeks.
On
the
other
hand,
despite
reduction
in
number
of
shows,
Sonu
Ke
Titu
Ki
Sweety
continues
to
woo
the
box
office
and
has
earned
Rs.
103
crores
[Week
5].
