Badrinath Ki Dulhania box office collection day 5: Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan film can overtake Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania?

The film is on its way to become the biggest hit of Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt’s careers. In fact, it will soon cross the lifetime collection of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Rs 76.81 crore, if it continues to perform this well. Varun Dhawan’s biggest hits till date are Dilwale (Rs 148 crore) and ABCD 2 (Rs 105 crore). While Dilwale had Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, ABCD 2 was a Varun show. Can Badrinath ki Dulhania cross ABCD 2’s record? Alia Bhatt’s biggest earner till date is 2 States at Rs 103.5 crore in earnings.

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, Badrinath Ki Dulhania is a spin-off of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. The film is set in a small town and explores the dilemma of a modern day relationship. “The core is man and woman, love and respect, and the role of that in a relationship. I have always seen around me and I have been judgmental about it. I have tried to be neutral about it and also tried to have no opinion about it. Today especially, there is so much talk around man, woman, the role of women, feminist, chauvinist and as a story-teller, I questioned myself. How can I bring this out in the most normal way without judging either side? It is easy to point fingers at everybody but it is tough to tell a neutral story and then let people decide what is right and wrong,” Shashank said in an interview with indianexpress.com.
