Dhadak box office day 2: Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter’s film makes ₹19 crore

Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter’s debut movie Dhadak has made ₹19 crore at the box office in its first two days.

Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter’s Dhadak got a dream start at the box office and the film’s bullish promotional strategy was perhaps the catalyst. The film earned an impressive ₹19.25 crore in its first two days of release.

Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor’s Dhadak is doing good business.

According to a BoxOfficeIndia report, the film made ₹10.5 crore on Saturday. Dhadak’s two fresh-faced leads -- Janhvi and Ishaan -- have been promoting Dhadak across cities and the film has been in the news for launching Sridevi’s daughter, Janhvi. But from now on Dhadak’s box office performance will depend on the word-of-mouth.
