It seems that there is no stopping Dream Girl at the box office. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, the film has received a lot of love from the audience, earning Rs 44.57 crores in just three days. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote that this film’s three-day collection is better than Raazi, Stree and Uri: The Surgical Strike.
Dream Girl hit theatres on 13 September and the film broke records by becoming the Ayushmann’s biggest opener till date. Dream Girl also stars Nushrat Bharucha and Vijay Raaz. Taran Adarsh had said that Dream Girl has crossed the Day 1 earnings of all of Ayushmann’s previous hits like Badhaai Ho, Article 15 et al. On the day of its release, Dream Girl had raked in Rs 10.05 crores. Ayushmann’s second biggest opener is Badhaai Ho with Rs 7.35 crore, followed by Article 15 with Rs 5.02 crore.
The second day had also been really good as the film bagged Rs 16.42 crores at the box office.
Speaking about the great start the film has got, Ayushmann says, “I’m delighted that Dream Girl has opened well and there is a lot of positivity around the film. This personal milestone of mine is really encouraging for me. I tried to explore with Dream Girl and tried my hand at doing a mass entertainer and I’m happy that audiences across the country have accepted me as an entertaining hero. As an artist, I have tried to back projects that I felt had the potential to break out in their own genres and this day one result is a strong validation of that.”
The actor thanked the entire team, including, director Raaj Shaandilyaa and producer Ekta Kapoor.
“Dream Girl‘s strong start is extremely heartening for all of us who gave it our all while making this film. My heroine, Nushrat Bharucha, my co-actors - the truly brilliant Annu Kapoor, Manjot Singh, Vijay Raaz Abhishek Banerjee, Raj Bhansali, Rajesh Sharma, Nidhi Bisht and every actor in the film deserves all the credit for making this film a laugh riot. Also special credit to Nirman D, my co-writer and Ruchikaa Kapoor, my creative producer for being there at every step of the film,” Aysuhamann said in a statement.
Dream Girl is written and directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa. It is produced by Balaji Motion Pictures. The trailer of the film dropped on 12 August.
