Review of Bollywood movie “Dream Girl 2”
“Dream Girl 2,” the highly anticipated film starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, has made an impressive entry into the Indian box office scene. With a well-managed budget, the movie’s initial performance bodes well for its prospects.
The first day saw “Dream Girl 2” rake in a commendable Rs 9.25 crores nett in India. This figure is on par with the opening day collections of its predecessor, “Dream Girl,” signalling a strong start.
Familiar Faces and New Twists
The film boasts an ensemble cast including Ayushmann Khurrana, Ananya Panday, Paresh Rawal, Anu Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, and more. The mix of veteran actors and emerging talents adds depth to the storytelling.
A Closer Look
Director Raaj Shaandilyaa’s “Dream Girl 2” introduces us to Karam, a young man from Mathura. His daily struggle revolves around repaying his father’s debts, which have accumulated from numerous sources. In a parallel storyline, Karam finds himself deeply enamoured with Pari. However, Pari’s father has stipulated certain conditions for their union. To make ends meet, Karam adopts an unconventional solution—he assumes the identity of Pooja. This sets the stage for a hilarious cascade of chaos and comedic mishaps.
Box Office Numbers
The initial day saw “Dream Girl 2” a mass of approximately Rs 5.35 crores nett from major cinema chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis. These three chains contributed a significant 60% of the movie’s total collections. The upcoming weekend’s performance will be a litmus test for audience engagement. Should the growth trajectory remain strong, the movie’s opening weekend earnings could touch Rs 40 crores nett. A more realistic target, however, would be a solid Rs 35 crores nett.
Navigating the Competition
Even as “Dream Girl 2” entertains audiences, it faces competition from “Gadar 2” in the mass market segment. Despite being in its third week, “Gadar 2” continues to stand strong. “Dream Girl 2,” however, has the potential to emerge as the preferred choice for weekend moviegoers. It has a 13-day window to make significant strides in its box office journey, as “Jawan” takes over the reins from September 7, 2023.
“Dream Girl 2” has initiated its box office journey with a flourish, garnering Rs 9.25 crores on its opening day. The film’s blend of humour and relatable themes is resonating with audiences. As the movie progresses, it remains to be seen how it weaves its comedic tapestry and sustains its momentum in the days to come.
Catch the Laughter
Mark your calendars—the laughter-filled escapade, “Dream Girl 2,” is now playing in theatres near you from August 25, 2023.
