20th September 2023, Mumbai: Ayushmann Khurrana has once again proven his box office prowess with the recent release of “Dream Girl 2,” which effortlessly crossed the coveted ₹100 crore mark. Despite facing stiff competition from blockbuster films like “Gadar 2” and “Jawan,” this comedy-drama has held its ground and is striving to reach the ₹125 crore milestone.
“Dream Girl 2” managed to carve out its own space
The charismatic actor, Ayushmann Khurrana, expressed his delight at the film’s performance in a highly competitive landscape. He emphasized that “Dream Girl 2” managed to carve out its own space even amidst the juggernauts like “Gadar 2,” which stormed past ₹400 crore, and the anticipation surrounding “Jawan.” “In the last 3 months, mid-budget and small-budget films are also running successfully. Earlier, people used to feel that only big-budget movies would run. So, the timing of the movie is correct, and it came in between ‘Jawan’ and ‘Gadar 2’ but still made its own space, and this will be the biggest victory of Dream Girl 2,” remarked Ayushmann.
