Ayushmann Khurrana’s Badhaai Ho crosses ₹200 crore worldwide, sinks Thugs of Hindostan

Badhaai Ho, the comedy drama starring Ayushmann Khurrana, has crossed the ₹200 crore mark at the worldwide box office, a total that trade analyst Taran Adarsh says is out of reach of Thugs of Hindostan.

Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer comedy drama, Badhaai Ho, has crossed the ₹200 crore mark worldwide, trade analyst Taran Adarsh has said. In tweets announcing the milestone, Taran also noted that the film’s lifetime collections will exceed those of Aamir Khan’s Thugs of Hindostan, touted to be the most expensive Bollywood film ever made.

Badhaai Ho has grossed over ₹158 crore in India, with an additional ₹43 crore in overseas markets, for a total gross of ₹201 crore.

The film has continued Ayushmann’s winning streak at the box office, which began with his debut film, Vicky Donor. His other hits include, Shubh Mangal Savdhan, Bareilly Ki Barfi and AndhaDhun.

“My acting career has been quite a ride. After Vicky Donor, I gave two-three unsuccessful films and that was a great learning curve. But Dum Laga Ke Haisha onwards it was cool. I learnt so much from all my films, successful or unsuccessful,” Ayushmann said in a recent interview to PTI.

He continued, “I know I have become a star but I don’t want to believe it. I want to be that simple, no fuss guy who approaches a film as if it is my first movie.”

The Hindustan Times review, awarding the film 3.5 stars out of five, singled out the supporting cast’s performances, especially Neena Gupta’s turn as Ayushmann’s character’s mother.
