'Dream Girl', Ayushmann Khurrana's biggest opener till date, enters the Rs 100 cr-club

NEW DELHI: Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer 'Dream Girl' has proudly marched to the Rs 100 crore-club in just 10 days after its release on September 13.

Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared a box office update on the film that has emerged as Khurrana's biggest opener till date. The movie had already crossed the Rs 75 crore-mark on Saturday.



In another tweet, the 54-year-old critic said that this is 'Andhadhun' actor's second century after 'Badhaai Ho', and producer Ekta Kapoor’s second century after 'Ek Villain'.


Khurrana, who plays the role of a guy pretending to be a woman over phone, took to Twitter to celebrate the win and wrote, "DreamGirl scores a century! Thank you for this love."


Nushrat Bharucha, who plays Khurrana's love interest, said the film's entry to Rs 100-crore club was a 'dream run' for the team. She posted a message on Twitter, thanking the fans, and it read, "Thanks to all of you who saw our film and gave it so much love, 100 CR and still going strong. Cheers (Gat Gat)."


The comedy-drama is maintaining its stronghold despite tough competition from 'Chhichhore' that crossed the mark withing 12 days of its release, and new releases like Sonam Kapoor-Dulquer Salmaan's 'The Zoya Factor', Karan Deol's 'Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas' and Sanjay Dutt's 'Prassthanam'.

Ayushmann is known for taking up unconventional roles such as 'Vicky Donor', his debut film where he played a sperm donor, and Sriram Raghavan's 'Andhadhun', where he essayed the role of a blind pianist trapped in a murder mystery.


'Dream Girl', helmed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, tells the story of a small-town man played by Ayushmann, who can perfectly mimic a woman's voice. He takes up the job of a tele-caller, where he talks to strangers over the phone under a false name - Pooja. Many of Pooja's callers end up falling in love with her, leading to hilarious consequences.

Apart from Ayushmann, the film also stars Nushrat Bharucha, Annu Kapoor, Vijay Raaz, Abhishek Bannerjee, Manjot Singh, Nidhi Bisht, Rajesh Sharma, and Raj Bhansali.
