He also shared the opening day box office collection of Ayushmann’s films. “Ayushmann Khurrana versus Ayushmann Khurrana... *Day 1* biz... 2019: #DreamGirl ₹ 10.05 cr, 2018: #BadhaaiHo ₹ 7.35 cr [Thu; #Dussehra], 2019: #Article15 ₹ 5.02 cr, 2017: #ShubhMangalSaavdhan ₹ 2.71 cr, 2018: #AndhaDhun ₹ 2.70 cr, 2017: #BareillyKiBarfi ₹ 2.42 cr. #India biz.”
Meanwhile, Chhichhore -- directed by Nitesh Tiwari and with Shraddha Kapoor in the lead -- is showing no signs of slowing down. The film earned ₹5 crore on its second Friday, which is comparable to its opening day collections. Buoyed by excellent word-of-mouth, the film showed a slight drop from Thursday, which was a holiday in some parts due to Ganesh Visarjan festivities.
