Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Article 15, which released on June 28, has been widely appreciated across all corners. The movie took an award at London India Film Festival within few days of its release. Director Anubhav Sinha received audience award at the festival.
The movie featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, which has entered its third week, has already managed to earn over Rs. 50 crore despite the ongoing World Cup matches, non-holiday release and no hike in ticket prices. Article 15 collected Rs. 50 crore on July 11, and it has minted Rs. 53.68 crore on third Friday.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed the same on his Twitter handle when he wrote, "#Article15 begins Week 3 on a steady note... [Week 3] Fri 1.25 cr. Total: 53.68 cr. India biz." The movie has been declared a hit, if Box Office India is anything to go by.
