Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma starrer Sui Dhaaga had a fine second day. It grossed Rs 12.25 crore, taking the total collection to Rs 20.55 crore. It had opened with 8.30 crore. Sui Dhaaga is directed by Sharat Katariya (known for Dum Laga Ke Haisha) and produced by Maneesh Sharma under Yash Raj Films banner. It also stars Raghubir Yadav.

After a slow start, Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan’s Sui Dhaaga Made In India doubled its collection at the box office to post an encouraging first weekend earnings. Sui Dhaaaga has earned a total of Rs 36.6 crore within three days and will increase its earnings further as Tuesday is a national holiday.

“#SuiDhaaga witnesses EXCELLENT GROWTH... Day 2 + Day 3 biz is a clear indicator that its target audience [families] have helped multiply the biz... Day 3 is *almost double* of Day 1... Fri 8.30 cr, Sat 12.25 cr, Sun 16.05 cr. Total: ₹ 36.60 cr [2500 screens]. India biz,” trade analyst Taran Adarsh reported the Sui Dhaaga box office collection.

He said that the film will get October 2 holiday as a “big bonus”. “Although Day 4 [Mon] - the first working day after the weekend - is akin to an exam for all movies, #SuiDhaaga has an advantage of a big holiday tomorrow [Day 5; Gandhi Jayanti], so the real test will be from Day 6 [Wed] onwards... Biz on the national holiday is a BIG BONUS,” he wrote.

Sharat Katariya’s film went head-to-head with Vishal Bhardwaj’s Pataakha starring Sanya Malhotra and Radhika Madan. While Sui Dhaaga managed to gain momentum during the weekend and its Sunday collections were almost double of its collections witnessed on the day of its release, Pataakha got a lukewarm response.
