22 October 2023, Mumbai: Divya Khosla Kumar and Meezan Jafri’s ‘Yaariyan 2’ made its way to theaters on October 20, but it’s encountering a bumpy ride at the box office. The film is struggling to make an impact and is finding it challenging to cross the Rs 1 crore mark in daily collections. On Day 2, it managed to earn only Rs 55 lakh. This underwhelming performance is particularly disheartening as ‘Yaariyan 2’ directly clashed with Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon’s action film ‘Ganapath’ on its release day.
Continuation of the ‘Yaariyan’ Series
‘Yaariyan 2’ is a sequel to the 2014 film ‘Yaariyan,’ directed by Divya Khosla herself. The story revolves around the dynamics between cousins until one of them decides to tie the knot, leading to shifts in their relationships.
Lackluster Response for Yaariyan 2
The comedy-drama had a less-than-impressive debut, collecting approximately Rs 60 lakh on its opening day. However, on Day 2, which was a Saturday (October 21), its earnings dropped further to Rs 55 lakh. Consequently, the cumulative domestic box office collection stands at roughly Rs 1 crore.
‘Yaariyan 2’ Overview
Directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, ‘Yaariyan 2’ was released on October 20, 2023. It’s produced by Divya Khosla Kumar, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Aayush Maheshwari, under the banners of T-Series Films and Sapru Films Production.
‘Yaariyan 2’ Cast
The film features a cast that includes Meezaan Jafri, Divya Khosla Kumar, Pearl V Puri, Priya P Varrier, Yash Daasguptaa, Anaswara Rajan, and Warina Hussain in significant roles. As ‘Yaariyan 2’ grapples with a sluggish performance at the box office, the industry and audiences will be closely observing whether it can regain momentum and secure a more favorable reception in the days ahead.
