Here's how much
Hindi Medium has earned at the box office so far.
In his review for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "
Full marks - well, almost - to Hindi Medium for intent, effort and thematic novelty. It's asquint take on the scramble for pre-primary admissions that elite, metropolitan English-medium schools witness every year is likely to strike an instant chord with parents. This Irrfan Khan starrer is a middling social satire, an awkward blend of situational comedy and an earnest expose on the downsides of ersatz pecking-order mobility. It employs broad strokes that hinge on contrived, bereft-of-nuance situations. It isn't possible to completely dislike Hindi Medium." He gave the Saket Chaudhary-directed film 2.5 stars out of 5.
Hindi Medium released along with Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's
Half Girlfriend. The Mohit Suri-directed film is based on Chetan Bhagat's novel of the same name.
Half Girlfriend has so far earned Rs 45.60 crore.
