The muchawaited Badhaai Do, starring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar, had a muted start at the box office. Nonetheless, it was a profitable weekend for the movie with Rs. 2.72 cr and Rs. 3.45 cr being added to its collections on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
In this box office report, we assessperformance of Badhaai Do in its opening weekend, comparing it to Rajkummar Rao’s earlier films. Grossing Rs. 7.82 cr, it is the actor’s 8th highest–earning release during this time, just higher than Fanney Khan (Rs. 7.15 cr) and Newton (Rs. 6.90 cr). Although still facing the effects of the pandemic, Badhaai Do fails to meet the box office records of Stree (Rs. 31.26 cr), Judgementall Hai Kya (Rs. 19 cr), Roohi (Rs. 12.58 cr), Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (Rs. 11.83 cr), Bareilly Ki Barfi (Rs. 11.52 cr), Dolly Ki Doli (Rs. 10.75 cr), and Queen (Rs. 10 cr).
Despite cinema hall attendance, forecasts suggest Badhaai Do’s sales will experience a downturn as the week continues. Nonetheless, considering Valentine’s Day, the movie is projected to maintain or even experience an increase in earnings in multiplex-populated cities.
