Varun Dhawan's Judwaa 2 has become a hit in its opening day itself. Bollywood witnessed good numbers at the box office after a long time, all thanks to David Dhawan's movie and Varun's popularity.
The movie in on the verge to cross the Rs 100-crore mark as it needs only Rs 2 crore to make the record. However, it was expected that Judwaa 2 will surpass the mark in just seven days. Judwaa 2 has been winning hearts all over with its high-on-humour scenes and entertaining performances.
The comedy flick was received with open arms at the box office. The Dussehra release offered a perfect watch to the family audience with the opening collections of the film being Rs 15.55 crore.
Till Day 6, the family entertainer had collected Rs 92.02 crore at the domestic box office. The actual business was done during the long weekend that had Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti holidays.
Then, the box office collections slowed from the first working day — Tuesday. However, Judwaa 2 will now enter the Rs 100-crore club on day 8. Will it be able to cross the Rs 150-crore mark this weekend?
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: "#Judwaa2 Fri 16.10 cr, Sat 20.55 cr, Sun 22.60 cr, Mon 18 cr, Tue 8.05 cr, Wed 6.72 cr, Thu 6.06 cr. Total: ₹ 98.08 cr. India biz. SUPERHIT."
As there are no big releases this Friday, except Saif Ali Khan's Chef, the possibility that Varun's movie will enter the Rs 150-crore club is definitely there.
