Dinesh Vijan says Angrezi Medium is not screening in Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Mumbai, Karnataka Irrfan Khan and Radhika Madan -starrer _Angrezi Medium_ , which hit theatres on Friday, has to bear the brunt of the Coronavirus outbreak. In a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, producer Dinesh Vijan said the box office figures are likely to take a major hit, especially since the film cannot be screened in Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Mumbai, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh. “80 percent of our expected business was from home. And after Delhi, Jammu and Kerala, there were orders to shut down theatres in Bihar, Karnataka, and UP though the UP CM has left the decision to the theatre management, and the big hit was when Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur were also declared out of bounds,” Mirror reports Vijan as saying. However, despite this, Angrezi Medium has performed well on its opening day at the box office, picking up Rs 4.03 crore at the ticketing counters. Here are the box office numbers
#AngreziMedium Fri ₹ 4.03 cr. #India biz.
