Dream Girl, starring Ayushmann Khurrana in yet another quirky role, has received a wonderful response at the box office. The film registered about 70% growth on Saturday to collect around Rs 26 crore in just two days.

According to a report in Boxofficeindia.com, the film collected around Rs 16 crore on Saturday. It had opened at Rs 10.05 crore on Friday to become Ayushmann’s highest opening film. It may soon turn out to be Ayushmann’s sixth consecutive hit at the box office and his second hit of 2019.

Earlier, film trade analyst Girish Johar had told Hindustan Times, “The film can easily collect Rs 30 crore in its opening weekend. And if it collects double digit figure of Rs 10 crore on its day one, it may even reach Rs 35 crore during the weekend.”

“Ayushmann has been going through a perfect growth phase, he has been picking the right stories and is doing different kind of story telling. The best part about the film is that he is telling the story in a very clean, quirky, comical way, which an entire family can watch together. The audience loved the trailer and the expectations from the film are very high,” he said.

The film revolves around Ayushmann who is capable of speaking in a girl’s voice and uses his skill to get a job at a sex call centre. It stars Nushrat Bharucha as the female lead.

Comparing it to Ayushmann’s other releases, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter on Saturday, “Ayushmann Khurrana versus Ayushmann Khurrana...
