Angrezi Medium First Day Box Office Collection: Irrfan Khan's Film Affected By Coronavirus Scare
Actor Irrfan Khan, who was away from the big screen for a long time after being diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, recently made a comeback with Homi Adajania's Angrezi Medium. The film also stars Radhika Madan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in pivotal roles.
Speaking about the film's opening box office collection, the Irrfan-starrer witnessed a dull start at the ticket counters owing to the recent coronavirus outbreak in the country. The Irrfan Khan-starrer collected Rs. 4.03 crore on Friday.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#AngreziMedium Fri ₹ 4.03 cr. #India biz. Note: Biz has been severely affected due to closure of cinema halls in several states. #CoronaVirus #COVID19."
