Deadpool 2 is the sequel to 2016's smash hit with Ryan Reynolds' obnoxiously funny superhero leading the film. Deadpool is back, and this time he is not working alone. He has an entire team of mutants to take on Cable, a time-travelling powerful mutant. Deadpool 2 released on Friday worldwide and Fox, the studio, must be expecting the film to do great business as first, the character is quite popular, and second, Bollywood's Ranveer Singh has given his voice to the character in the Hindi version of Deadpool 2. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the first day collection of the film on Twitter. He wrote, "#Deadpool2 takes an EXCELLENT START. FOURTH BIGGEST Day 1 - 2018 [Hindi + Hollywood films]. Expect biz to multiply on Sat and Sun. Fri ₹ 11.25 cr NettBOC. India biz. Note: English + Hindi + Tamil + Telugu." Adding to it, he mentioned how Hollywood films have been pulling Indian audiences to the theaters. He tweeted, "Hollywood films are strengthening and cementing their reach in India. #Deadpool2 has an Adults certification, yet the opening day is in double digits [all versions]. Proves, yet again, Hollywood event films/popular franchises are massive crowd pullers." #Deadpool2 takes an EXCELLENT START. FOURTH BIGGEST Day 1 - 2018 [Hindi + Hollywood films].

Deadpool 2 received an A certificate due to its decidedly adult themes and thus its audience is smaller than the last month's Avengers: Infinity War. It released on 2000 screens. On Friday, Taran Adarsh posted on Twitter saying that the film is going to earn big on its first day. He tweeted, "Hollywood films are on a roll. #Deadpool2 takes a BIGGG START across India [it was expected!]. Morning and noon shows. Not just English, the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions have also opened to very good occupancy. India screen count: 2000 screens [all versions]." Meanwhile, Deadpool 2 has received highly positive reviews. The film holds a fresh 84% rating at review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The consensus reads, "Though it threatens to buckle under the weight of its meta gags, Deadpool 2 is a gory, gleeful lampoon of the superhero genre buoyed by Ryan Reynolds' undeniable charm."

Hollywood films are getting the popularity they deserve finally in one of the biggest markets in the world. Maybe this would prod Hindi film industry needed to up its game.
