The journey at the box office has been good for Hichki so far but Baaghi 2's growing success may hamper its stance. According to a report published by the Box Office India, Hichki might surpass Mardaani's week 2 collection. The film, which reportedly was made on a budget of Rs 12 crore, was released across 961 screens.
Going by the figures of the opening week business shared by Taran Adarsh, Hichki stands at fifth position with Rs 26.10 crore after Deepika Padukone's "Padmaavat" (Rs 166.50 crore), Ajay Devgn's Raid (63.05 crore), Akshay Kumar's PadMan (Rs 62.87 crore) and Kartik Aaryan's Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (Rs 45. 94 crore).
With Hichki, Rani Mukerji returned to the silver screen after a gap of four years. Film critic Raja Sen in his review to NDTV gave Hichki 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "A fine actress, Rani Mukerji does well to make her condition appear natural and entirely involuntary, but the story pivots too far away from the students' (and teachers') acceptance of the syndrome. Soon it becomes merely an actorly affectation, with hardly any bearing on the storytelling."
Hichki is co-produced by Yash Raj Films and Maneesh Sharma.
