Ayushmann’s previous releases An Action Hero, Doctor G and Chandigrah Kare Aashiqui didn’t make much of an impact on the box office. Chandigarh… peaked with a business of about Rs 41 crore.
Our review of the film read, “After his recent experiments resulted in commercial duds (An Action Hero, Doctor G Anek, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui), with Dream Girl 2 Ayushmann Khurrana seems desperate to replay the small-budget-yet-massy feat Vicky Donor and Bareilly Ki Barfi had pulled off. He emotes Pooja with ease and tries almost all gags in his repository (there is also the famous Ayushmann Khurrana monologue.)”
