Judwaa 2 box office collection Day 10: Varun Dhawan’s film continues to rake in the moolah

Judwaa 2 box office collection Day 10: This is the first time Varun Dhawan was seen in a double role

The popularity of Judwaa 2 seems to be on the up and up. After entering the Rs 100 crore club, Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu is now aiming to gain the higher ground until the Diwali releases of Bollywood hit the screens. This is the first time Varun Dhawan was seen in a double role. His contemporaries Sidharth Malhotra and Arjun Kapoor had also tried their hands at a double role with ‘A Gentleman’ and ‘Mubarakan’, respectively. Just when we thought that Indian audience has had it with the same old masala entertainers, Varun Dhawan swooped in with his 90’s style swagger and proved everyone wrong. With the next weekend coming up, it wouldn’t be a complete shocker if Judwaa 2 dominates the box office.

“Varun wades fully into both characters, and shows a nimble-footedness here and there. He is better at the broad, physical, crotch-lowering ‘gali ka gunda’, than the straight, subdued fella, and judging by the roars and claps of the mostly youthful crowd at the first-day, first-show, he knows it too. Fernandez and Pannu show up and do what they need to when called for: squeal and act surprised and swing to the beat; the latter making the most of her part. Pannu is the real surprise here, and a welcome one. But the material gets too thin and stretched around Judwaa 2’s flab. A character keeps saying: ‘main seedha point pe aata hoon’. You wish the film did too,” wrote film critic Shubhra Gupta in her review of ‘Judwaa 2’.
