Dream Girl BEATS Article 15 and AndhaDhun to emerge Ayushmann Khurrana's second-highest weekend grosser

As we told you earlier, Ayushmann Khurrana's Dream Girl packed a solid punch at the ticket windows and raked in Rs 44.57 crore in its opening weekend at the box office. The massy rom-com has turned out to be Ayushmann's second-highest first weekend grosser after Badhaai Ho. But, we can't deny the fact that Badhaai had an extended weekend of 4 days and if we compare the 3-day collections, Dream Girl is much higher. #AyushmannKhurrana versus #AyushmannKhurrana... *Opening Weekend* biz: 2019: #DreamGirl 44.57 cr 2018: #BadhaaiHo 45.70 cr [extended 4-day wknd] 2019: #Article15 20.04 cr 2018: #AndhaDhun 15 cr 2017: #ShubhMangalSaavdhan 14.46 cr 2017: #BareillyKiBarfi 11.52 cr taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) September 16, 2019 Director Raaj Shandilyaa expressed her thoughts about the film and told earlier, "Making a film with a character like Puja, who speaks in a female voice, is a double-edged sword. I have no intention to hurt anyone but, at the same time, I want the audience to enjoy the situation of what happens when a man speaks in a woman's voice as a call centre employee," said Raaj who has earlier contributed as a screenplay and dialogue writer in films such as "Bhaiaji Superhit", "Bhoomi", "Freaky Ali" and "Welcome Back". Talking about the film, Ayushmann plays the role of a tele-caller who impersonates his female alter ego Pooja while calling up customers. Unaware of the originality of the situation, his customers can be seen falling for his alter ego who they hail as their 'Dream Girl'. Predicting the business of 'Dream Girl' at the box-office, Kapoor said: "I feel this film is definately going to work. It will do business of more than 180 crore. More specifically, it's going to do business between 178 crore to 187 crore. I feel good films have always worked and appreciated by the audience and this film will not be an exception to it." Anyway, do you think the film will enter the Rs 100 crore club? Tweet to us @bollywood_life.
