According to the reports, the 1st day box office collection tolled to around 6 crores. The film has has opened well in all the metro cities and other territories like Uttar Pradesh, Central India and Rajasthan. All this has been possible courtesy the young star cast, potentially good story line and hit songs.

However it all depends on the public review though the film has secured a mixed review from most of the critics.
The Shraddha and Arjun’s film has a fantastic 2500 screens at its disposal, while Irrfan‘s movie has 1126 screens. With a decent screen space, we expect HG to see a growth in the coming two days of its first weekend collection.
