#BoxOfficeCollection: 'Dream Girl 2' struggling to reach Rs. 100cr
The month of August witnessed fierce competition at the theaters with the head-to-head clash of Gadar 2 and OMG 2. Moreover, Ayushmann Khurrana entered the race with Dream Girl 2, released on August 25. Despite the competition, the film has been witnessing decent collections at the box office but seems to be struggling to reach Rs. 100cr. Here's a breakdown of its collections.
Why does this story matter?
Helmed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Dream Girl 2 serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2019 blockbuster hit Dream Girl, where Khurrana starred alongside Nushrratt Bharuccha. In Dream Girl 2, the Andhadhun actor shares the screen with Ananya Panday. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if the film can break into the Rs. 100cr club—especially since Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan will be released this week.

Meanwhile, Khurrana stated #DreamGirl2 has same audience as #Gadar2
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Khurrana mentioned Dream Girl 2 shouldn't be watched with a "magnifying glass" and has the same audience as Sunny Deol's Gadar 2. "The one thing I was clear about was this film isn't for those who have a magnifying glass ready in their hands... This is for the outright massy comedy commercial single-screen small-town audience," Khurrana stated.
