After being lauded by critics and fans for his performance in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Anil Kapoor delivers another blockbuster with Total Dhamaal that has crossed the net 150 crore benchmark at the India wide box office.
His comical character of a distressed husband, pairing Madhuri Dixit and their onscreen chemistry in Indra Kumar's Total Dhamaal was a major draw for the audience. With this, the superstar proves yet again, that he's a lucky charm for movie franchises with Welcome Back and now Total Dhamaal being added to the 150 crore club.
Overjoyed with the success, Anil Kapoor says, "It gives me immense pleasure to know that families have been enjoying the film in theatres.
