Dream Girl 2 box office collection Day 2: Ayushmann Khurrana movie survives competition from Gadar 2, earns Rs 14.02 cr

Box office collection of the 2019 film Dream Girl

Dream Girl, which was released in 2019, had a similar start at the box office. It started its run with Rs 10.15 crore and ended up earning Rs 142.26 crore. The Raaj Shaandilyaa film had Ayushmann cross-dressed as Pooja for the first time and starred Nushrratt Bharuccha opposite Ayushmann.

Dream Girl 2 is benefitting from positive word of mouth. The film has Ayushmann’s character Karan becoming Pooja to save his father from debt. In the movie, he slips into many roles while being Pooja — bar dancer, a psychiatrist, and a daughter-in-law.

The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film 2.5 stars and wrote in her review, “Dream Girl 2, touted as the ‘spiritual successor’ of the 2019 film of the same name, repeats most of the original cast in its clearly-stated intention of pushing gender boundaries a couple of notches higher. Which is a good thing, and gives this 2023 outing its edge.”
