Irrfan Khan and Radhika Madan starrer Angrezi Medium released on Friday but due to shutdowns owing to coronavirus outbreak, the collections were always going to be low as it was just being screened in two metros Kolkata and Chennai. According to a report in Box Office India, the film has not been able to cross the Rs 9.50 crore mark and "now it will not be playing in any theatres from Tuesday as all theatres across the country will close till the end of the month".
The report further states that "the film could return to theatres when they open up but the film has not really worked going by centres which had a clean weekend and so when it does return there will not be much hope for strong collections". Angrezi Medium sees Irrfan play a single father, hailing from the middle-class small-town background, who will go to any extent to fulfill the dreams of his daughter, played by Radhika Madan. It also stars Kareena Kapoor, Deepak Dobriyal, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Tripathi in important roles.
Angrezi Medium received mixed reviews by critics. Writing about it, the DNA review said, "It's a delight to watch Irrfan doing what he knows the best that is, to perform effortlessly. His straight face humour and command over the screen made me realise how much I missed seeing him on the big screen. To match up with him, we have Deepak, who is fun and entertaining to the fullest. However, that's all we could see in several instances."
