Still from Dream Girl 2
Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday-starrer 'Dream Girl 2' hit the theatres on August 25. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the sequel to the 2019 film has taken a good start at the box office. Ayushmann's biggest opener to date, Dream Girl 2 has been wholeheartedly accepted by viewers all across. The film collected Rs 10.69 crore on opening day despite competition from films like Gadar 2 and IMG 2 which are still doing well in their third week.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter handle to share day 1 box office report of 'Dream Girl 2'. The film's success, he said, is testimonial of the revival of Bollywood which went through a dull phase following the pandemic.

The continuous flow of successes has brought joy and optimism back⦠YES, #Bollywood is back with a bang!," he wrote.
A thrilled Ayushmann says, "It feels amazing to deliver my career's best opening with Dream Girl 2. Dream Girl is a franchise that has given me a lot of love and I'm really happy with the start that Dream Girl 2 has got at the box office."
Ayushmann is super-charged to bring people to theatres with Dream Girl 2, a film that didn't have any corporate bookings - a trend that had set in the Hindi film industry.
He says, "As an entertainer, it feels amazing to bring people to theatres and experience them having a great time. Dream Girl 2 is a film that delivers entertainment in spades. It has a big promise that people will laugh their hearts out and it is good to note that the film has lived up to the expectations to take this solid start at the counters."
The perfect comic timing coupled with an ensemble star-cast of actors such as Paresh Rawal, Ananya Panday, Annu Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Abhishek Banerjee, Manjot Singh, Seema Pahwa, Manoj Joshi and the vision of Ektaa R Kapoor & Raaj Shaandilyaa has worked wonders in delivering an amazing hit for Bollywood again!
With such an amazing opening at the box office, Dream Girl 2 will keep marching towards a bigger number as audiences shower their love on the movie and come together to have a great laugh. Another feather in the cap for Ektaa R Kapoor who has time and again redefined the paradigm of entertainment with her visionary approach.
