Varun Dhawan's Judwaa 2 made a good business during the long weekend and now, it is set to touch the Rs 100-crore mark in its first week of release. After Akshay's Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, the Hindi film industry has witnessed good box office collection with Judwaa 2.

Judwaa 2 starring Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu minted good money as several moviegoers thronged the theatres, thanks to the national holiday of Dussehra, followed by a Sunday and Gandhi Jayanti on Monday.

Judwaa 2 earned Rs 16.10 crore on opening day at the domestic market and earned around Rs 80 crore in total within four days of its release. The movie also marks Varun Dhawan's first highest opener that surpassed Rs 20 crore within two days.

The fifth day of Judwaa 2 turned out to be the first working day since its release. The movie earned around Rs 8.05 crore on Tuesday. It will easily touch Rs 100-crore mark as well going by the numbers.
