Dream Girl box office collection Day 3: Ayushmann Khurrana film is on a roll.Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Dream Girl is off to a great start at the box office. After impressive collections in the first two days, the comedy film earned Rs 18.10 crore on Sunday, taking its total collection to Rs 44.57 crore.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the film’s box office figures on Twitter. He wrote, “#DreamGirl runs riot at the BO… Packs a fantastic total, setting the BO on fire on Day 2 and 3… Trends better than #Raazi [Rs 32.94 cr], #Stree [Rs 32.27 cr] and #Uri [Rs 35.73 cr]… Fri 10.05 cr, Sat 16.42 cr, Sun 18.10 cr. Total: Rs 44.57 cr. #India biz.”
Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Dream Girl also stars Nushrat Bharucha, Annu Kapoor, Manjot Singh and Vijay Raaz. The film has Ayushmann Khurrana’s character successfully pretending to be a woman while working for an adult hotline.
The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave Dream Girl a 2-star rating. Shubhra wrote in her review, “There is a lot of merit in a star-driven character study standing up for the rights of women who work night shifts in call-centres whose chief job is to provide phone cuddles to needy men. Karam gets to mouth dialogues about ‘loneliness’ and how it is gender neutral. Dream Girl also has a throw-away strand about religious amity, a lecture on how smoking and drinking do not define a person, and the attempt at a truly radical reach-out to ‘men who are like women’. But these ideas remain half-baked, being mouthed strictly as meaningless dialogue for either laughs or claps.”
She added, “You stay watching Dream Girl for Khurrana. He plays Karam/Pooja with grace and conviction, and makes this thing sing. He is the one who has been shifting the goal-posts in the depiction of masculinity in status-quoist Bollywood, and this film, in which he plays both man-and-woman, minus preciousness and exaggeration, would have been the perfect vehicle to take the conversation a notch higher.”
