What a fantastic run it is turning out to be for Andhadhun. After the kind of start that the film had taken, one wouldn’t have expected it to emerge such a good success that it has eventually turned out to be. The film has a good first week but what is remarkable about it is the fact that the second week is turning out to be even better, something that had last happened with Queen which had same size and scale as well as the target audience. That film took had grown from strength to strength and something similar has happened with Andhadhun as well which is turning out to be the first choice of the audience and that too by a margin.

On Saturday it collected Rs. 5 crore more and with this the collections have now reached Rs. 35.65 crore. There would be further jump today and the good news is that these would be more than double of all the new Hindi releases in the running. In fact the trending so far clearly suggests that Rs. 50 crore would be crossed by the Sriram Raghavan starrer in two weeks itself and from there on it would move on to higher glories.

Ayushmann Khurranna has now scored a hat-trick of successes after Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Savdhan. Coming week sees the arrival of Badhai Ho and rest assured that he would be finding some really good response from the audience, hence resulting in four successes in a row.

Andhadhun heads for better second weekend than first

Andhadhun is going very strongly at the box office with huge growth on the second Saturday of around 75%. The film has now taken its total to over 34 core nett and will have topped 40 crore nett by the end of the second weekend. The poor new releases have given it an extra lift but it would still have done well if there was stronger competition.

Jointly produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Matchbox Pictures, AndhaDhun also features Anil Dhawan, Zakir Hussain, Ashwini Kalsekar and Manav Vij in key roles.
