MUMBAI: Filmmaker Boney Kapoor is elated with the success of his daughter Jahnvi's debut film 'Dhadak'.
"I was somewhere sure it would do very well. I have told Janhvi to remain simple, honest, focused and hard working as she has been so far," Kapoor said in a statement here.
The film, also starring Ishaan Khatter and Ashutosh Rana, released on July 20. Zee Studios and Dharma Productions' 'Dhadak' has grossed Rs 60.48 crore worldwide.
Though the film has done well at the box office, the critical response has been lukewarm.

Clearly, it was not a good day for celebrated filmaker Shekhar Kapur who also heads the jury for the National Film Awards along with a panel comprising of screenwriter Imtiaz Hussain, lyricist Mehboob, South Indian actress Gautami Tadimalla, Kannada director P Sheshadri, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, Ranjit Das, Rajesh Mapuskar, Tripurari Sharma and Rumi Jaffrey. Traditionally, all the National Film Awards are given out by the President. This tradition was followed in 2017 as well with then-president Pranab Mukherjee giving out all the awards personally. However, Kovind in his presidency, has followed the rule of not allotting more than one hour for any award ceremony. This left many winners disgruntled who decided to boycott the ceremony. Kapur was seen trying hard to convince all the winners to attend the ceremony.
