Bareilly Ki Barfi box office collection day 5: The film stays strong during the weekday too.
We are witnessing a weird but good time in Bollywood where star vehicles are facing tough competition from content-driven films with budding stars. While Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Harry Met Sejal and Salman Khan’s Tubelight faced the ire of critics and audience alike, films like Bareilly Ki Barfi are doing wonders. This small budget film is being showered with love and the actors Ayushmann Khurrana, Kriti Sanon and especially Rajkumar Rao are being praised for their performances.
The Ashwini Iyer Tiwari directorial is making a slow and steady progress at the box office even during the weekdays.
Taran Adarsh shared the box office numbers of the film. He wrote, “#BareillyKiBarfi Fri 2.42 cr, Sat 3.95 cr, Sun 5.15 cr, Mon 1.90 cr, Tue 2 cr. Total: ₹ 15.42 cr. India biz,” which show that while the film had shown a dip in its Monday collection, on Tuesday, it came back to being a strong competitor to Toilet Ek Prem Katha, starring Akshay Kumar.

After the success of the rom com, Ayushmann took to his Instagram account and posted a video thanking his fans for showering love and praises on the film. He said, “Hi guys, thank you so much for the overwhelming response over Bareilly Ki Barfi, I got really emotional reading all the tweets and messages, the love that is pouring for this film, thank you Ashwini Iyer Tewari for giving us this beautiful gem.”
The actor had earlier said that he suggested Rajkummar Rao’s name for Pritam Vidrohi’s role, and praised Rajkummar for his convincing act. Rajkummar in return thanked the actor for suggesting his name.
