Ayushmann Khurrana's Dream Girl 2 earns over Rs 118 crore at box office

Ayushmann Khurrana's Dream Girl 2 has raised Rs 118.86 crore at the domestic box office in 12 days, the makers announced Wednesday.

The film had raised Rs 40.71 crore net in the first weekend after its release on August 25.

Dream Girl 2 also features Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Abhishek Banerjee, Manjot Singh, Seema Pahwa and Manoj Joshi.

Ayushmann’s previous releases An Action Hero, Doctor G and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui didn’t make much of an impact at 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.)”

Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the comedy-drama is a sequel to Khurrana's 2019 hit of the same name. Dream Girl 2 is produced by Ektaa R Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures.
