'Badhaai Ho' got a four-day weekend due to Dussehra on Friday. It's expected to do better business on Sunday thanks to the strong word-of-mouth. Ayushmaan's light-hearted comedy has surpassed Alia Bhatt's 'Raazi' and Rajkummar Rao's horror comedy 'Stree' - two other sleeper hits of the year.
“Stree had a 31.50 crore nett three day weekend while Raazi was 32.75 crore nett and if we factor in there is no Madhya Pradesh collections then this film is better than both over the first three days. It has lost 1.50 crore nett business over three days due to no release in Madhya Pradesh,” Hindustan Times reported.
'Badhaai Ho' clashed at the box office with Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra's Namaste England. According to a report on BoxOfficeIndia.com, the film made a total collection of Rs 3.5 crore in two days.
