Not only has Dream Girl opened better than Ayushmann's films, but it has also done better than many hit films of 2019, such as Uri: The Surgical Strike (8.02 crores), Luka Chuppi (8.01 crores) and Chichhore (7.32 crores). This gigantic opening was anticipated because the trailer of the film became viral moments after it was released.

The film, which is about a boy who can speak in a girl's voice and takes up a job at a call centre, also created buzz because of Ayushmann's performance. Film critic Rajeev Masand said in his review, "He brings grace and dignity to the kind of role that has been reduced to a drag cliché on so many of television's reality and comedy shows."
