According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has “pumped oxygen in the lungs of an ailing industry” with its “terrific” first day collections.
Adarsh tweeted that the movie has taken the fourth spot among the top five openers of 2017 so far. Baahubali 2 (Rs 41 crore), Tubelight (Rs 21.15 crore), Raees (Rs 20.42 crore) and Jab Harry Met Sejal (Rs 15.25 crore) are among the others.
Komal Nahta, another trade expert, said the Dhawans “deliver a hit in Judwaa 2.
“Full of fun, frolic, comedy and humour,” he added.
Judwaa 2 sees Varun bringing back to celluloid the iconic characters Raja and Prem portrayed by Salman Khan in Judwaa. Jacqueline and Taapsee have stepped into the shoes of Karisma Kapoor and Rambha.
