Badrinath Ki Dulhania box office collection day 2: Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan film collects Rs 27 crore

In what is being largely seen as a feminist, progressive film about gender equality, Badrinath Ki Dulhania is set in a small town. The movie, according to many critics, is a mature version of Alia and Varun’s previous outing in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. While Varun is playing a 10th-class pass Badri from Jhansi, Alia is seen playing an educated woman with ambitions.

“Badri is the one we love to hate, the chauvinist, and Vaidehi is also one whom we love to hate, who is apparently a feminist, and then try to get them on the same level for love. How can these two characters ever fall in love? How can they ever try to lead a simple life? That’s been the journey. That’s done in the most commercial way I could. By telling the story, not with sorrow but with joy,” director Shashank Khaitan spoke about the film in an interview with indianexpress.com.
