Ayushmann Khurrana, who created a niche for himself in the Hindi film industry, had been struggling to register a hit to his name since 2019’s Bala. Now, after three years, Khurrana has finally found his groove again. His latest release Dream Girl 2, has made Rs 71.70 crore after eight days in the theatres, as per industry tracker Sacnilk.

After bringing in Rs 67 crore in its first week, the film made Rs 4.70 crore on its eighth day. Dream Girl 2 released at a time when Gadar 2 was dominating the box office and even OMG 2 was doing considerably well. Given the competition it had to face, the film has fared well. Now, next week, the film will face off against Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan which could affect its collections massively.

Before Dream Girl 2, Ayushmann had a string of flops. His recent films An Action Hero, Doctor G, Anek and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui could not bring in the audience to the theatres. An Action Hero made Rs 10.89 crore, Doctor G made Rs 26.45 crore, Anek made Rs 8.15 crore and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui made Rs 28.26 crore in its lifetime collection, as per Bollywood Hungama. Even before the pandemic, Ayushmann’s last release Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan could only make Rs 60.78 crore through its run. Dream Girl 2 crossed this mark in its first week. Ayushmann’s last hit was 2019’s Bala which made Rs 116.81 crore at the box office.

Dream Girl 2 is a part of the Dream Girl franchise which was the biggest hit of Ayushmann’s career. The film made Rs 142.26 crore when it released in 2019. It seems unlikely that Dream Girl 2 will be able to break its record given that it will witness a dip in its collections next week after Jawan’s release.

Dream Girl 2 also stars Ananya Panday, Annu Kapoor, Abhishek Bannerjee among others.
