The journey of Bareilly Ki Barfi at the box office has been very interesting. Despite a slow start at the box office, the film has been showing considerable growth at the box office. Directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, the film, which is small town love triangle, has managed to collect Rs 1.63 crores on the sixth day, making its total upto Rs 17.05 crores till date.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the figures, “#BareillyKiBarfi Fri 2.42 cr, Sat 3.95 cr, Sun 5.15 cr, Mon 1.90 cr, Tue 2 cr, Wed 1.63 cr. Total: ₹ 17.05 cr. India biz. ROCK-STEADY! #BKB.”
The film has been receiving immense love from the audience. The success of the Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon starrer proves that the audience prefer content driven films than star vehicles.
In the first half of 2017, Bollywood witnessed a dry spell at the box office. Big budget films like Jab Harry Met Sejal and Tubelight failed to bring in the crowd to the theaters. However, Akshay Kumar came to the rescue as his Toilet: Ek Prem Katha performed well. It seems this Ashiwini Iyer directorial is following in TEPK’s footsteps. While it remains far from the kind of collection Akshay’s film has fetched, its overall performance has been impressive.
