The eagerly awaited release of 'Dream Girl 2,' featuring the talented duo of Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday, graced the silver screen on Friday, August 25th, 2023, amidst high expectations and excitement. This premiere coincided with the ongoing successful runs of two major cinematic offerings: Sunny Deol's 'Gadar 2' and Akshay Kumar's 'OMG 2,' both of which have been performing exceptionally well at the box office.
Upon its debut, 'Dream Girl 2' received mixed reviews from both critics and online audiences. Now, let's delve into the film's opening-day box office earnings.
As reported by Sacnilk, 'Dream Girl 2' kicked off with a strong beginning, amassing an estimated net revenue of 10.69 Crores in India on its opening day. This achievement is based on initial projections. Notably, the film enjoyed an impressive 29.51% occupancy rate for its Hindi version on the date of its release.
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh wrote in his review, "#DreamGirl2 is a joyride, its sole funda is to entertain… Has it all: Witty one-liners, cleverly-crafted situations, well-timed jokes and dollops of humour… A worthy second instalment. #DreamGirl2Review #AyushmannKhurrana is truly fantastic. Infuses the film with infectious energy and his portrayal of #Pooja deserves highest praise… #DreamGirl2 boasts of incredible talent in its supporting cast and the ones who stand out are #PareshRawal, #AnnuKapoor, #VijayRaaz, #RajpalYadav, #ManjotSingh and #SeemaPahwa. Director #RaajShaandilyaa loads the narrative with unexpected twists, comical misunderstandings, chaotic situations and quirky characters… Most importantly, the jokes land well and that’s also one of the reasons why #DreamGirl2 works. On the flip side, the writing could’ve been sharper at places [the restaurant sequence is over-stretched] and the romantic portions [#AyushmannKhurrana - #AnanyaPanday] lack fizz."
