BADRINATH KI DULHANIA recorded the highest second week collection of the year as it beat the 23.77 crore nett of JOLLY LLB 2 with collections of 26.25 crore nett apprx. The drop in the second week is 64% which is solid trending. This takes the two week total of the film to 98 crore nett apprx and it will probably reach the 100 crore nett mark on Saturday.

The film will become the highest grossing film of Varun Dhawan (outside DILWALE) and Alia Bhatt before the third weekend is out and could reach the lifetime figure of Jolly LLB 2 by the end of the third which would make it the second highest grosser of 2017.  The business of BADRINATH KI DULHANIA (Hindi) till date is as follows.
First Week - 71,77,00,000
Second Week - 26,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 98,02,00,000

The film has done all over but the best performing belts are UP, Rajasthan and CI and in these areas it will become the highest grossing film of the year. This is a major feat for the film as it is beating the numbers of films like RAEES and JOLLY LLB 2 in mass areas where stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar have a far wider reach than the cast of BADRINATH KI DULHANIA. In Rajasthan and CI it has already collected as much as Jolly LLB 2 in just two weeks.

BADRINATH KI DULHANIA continued to be the best performing film of 2017 post the first week with collections of around 2.50 crore nett which takes its lifetime business to over 91 crore nett. The second week will go over 25 crore nett and there have been 30 odd films that have done that in the past.

The best performance has come in mass belts for the film be it a UP, CI or Rajasthan. It will beat the figures of JOLLY LLB 2 in these places and could even surpass RAEES and both these films had people like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar who are big draws in mass pockets. The business of BADRINATH KI DULHANIA (Hindi) till date is as follows.

First Week - 71,77,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 7,25,00,000
Monday - 2,50,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 19,50,00,000 apprx (4 days)
TOTAL - 91,27,00,000 apprx

BADRINATH KI DULHANIA is the biggest Hit of 2017 and the first SUPER HIT film of 2017 as it heads for the best second weekend of the year. The film showed solid growth of around 45% on the second Saturday. The film is doing good to excellent business in all circuits and may well emerge the highest grossing film of 2017 in some circuits.

The business on the second Saturday was 5.75 crore nett which took its lifetime total to over 81 crore nett. The film will cross the business of a bigger film like KAABIL in ten days flat.

The business of BADRINATH KI DULHANIA (Hindi) till date is as follows.
First Week - 71,77,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------
BADRINATH KI DULHANIA is the biggest Hit of 2017 and the first SUPER HIT film of 2017 and has the highest second weekend of 2017 as it beat the 15.75 crore nett of JOLLY LLB 2. The film has very similar business to JOLLY LLB 2 after ten days but will probably trend better from here on. The second weekend collections of the film are 17 crore nett apprx and the total is 88.75 crore nett apprx.

The film will end up being the second highest grossing film of the year after RAEES. It has beaten KAABIL in ten days flat and is likely to beat JOLLY LLB 2 by the end of its run. The difference is the cost of the film is much lower than these films. It is 50% lower than the likes of KAABIL and JOLLY LLB 2 and 65% lower than a RAEES. The business of BADRINATH KI DULHANIA (Hindi) till date is as follows.
First Week - 71,77,00,000 apprx
Friday - 4,00,00,000
Saturday - 5,75,00,000
Sunday - 7,25,00,000
Second Weekend- 17,00,00,000
TOTAL - 88,77,00,000

BADRINATH KI DULHANIA is set to emerge the biggest HIT of 2017 till date as it recorded the highest day eight of the year with 4-4.25 crore nett coming on its second Friday which is a drop of around 65% from the first day. JOLLY LLB 2 had grossed 3.75 crore nett on its second Friday. The total business of the film is over 76 crore nett in eight days which is a little below JOLLY LLB 2 but the trend is stronger..

It has to just consolidate this solid trend on Friday with that big growth on second Saturday which hit films normally show and then that will ensure not only the biggest hit of 2017 but also a benchmark film for the cast (Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt). The business of BADRINATH KI DULHANIA (Hindi) till date is as follows.
First Week - 72,25,00,000 apprx
Second Friday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 76,25,00,000

The film got a helping hand from weak releases like AA GAYA HERO, MACHINE and TRAPPED with the main competition coming from Hollywood release BEAUTY AND THE BEAST but even that would be in just the metros. BADRINATH KI DULHANIA is doing its best business in Delhi/UP where it has racked up a total of around 16 crore nett in just eight days and it will become the highest grossing film of 2017 in that circuit.
