Jr Dhawan’s latest release has rewritten box office records
Remo D’Souza’s ABCD 2 starring Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor, Prabhu Dheva and Lauren Gottlieb hit theatres yesterday. Despite getting mixed responses from critics, the dance film has managed to pull crowds to theatres. Varun and Shraddha’s film has been liked by the audiences and has become one of the biggest openers of 2015 leaving behind Akshay Kumar’s Gabbar is Back. Jr Dhawan should certainly celebrate as his film earned Rs 14.30 crore on the first day.
Varun has always left us entertained with various avatars.Over the years since his debut film, he has also become one of the most bankable actors from the new lot. David Dhawan’s beta made his Bollywood debut with Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year in 2012 along with Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra. The romcom earned Rs 9.25 crore on its opening day. After this one, the actor delivered an out an out comedy in the form of Main Tera Hero which went to make Rs 6.60 crore on the release day. Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania was Varun’s second film with Alia and it opened well thanks to their pairing. The film made Rs 9.02 crore on the first day. After trying romantic comedies, KJo’s protege stunned everyone with his act in Sriram Raghavan’s dark thriller Badlapur that released early this year. Though this film picked up a little later all thanks to strong word of mouth, it made Rs 7 crore on the opening day.
Since ABCD 2 is already off to a great start at the box office, we won’t be surprised if it becomes one of the year’s biggest hits.
