Varun Dhawan's movie Judwaa 2 is the solution for what has been a poor year at the box office in Bollywood. The movie has been raking in the numbers for its family and commercial value. 

Judwaa 2's Day 1 at the box office saw the movie mint INR 15.55 crore and was the third highest opening day Bollywood grosser of 2017 after Salman Khan's Tubelight and Shah Rukh Khan's Raees. It's also Varun's highest opening day grosser. Day 2 was HUGE for the movie as well as it earned INR 20.25 crore at the box office and has the distinction of being the 2nd highest second day of the year after Raees (INR 26.10 crore). Judwaa 2 zoomed past Tubelight (INR 19.24 crore) and Akshay Kumar's Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (INR 16.86 crore) when it comes to Day 2 collections.

When it comes to Day 3 which is a Sunday, Judwaa 2 earned INR 22 crore at the box office and the total collection for the weekend stands at INR 58 crore, according to a leading trade website. The production house figures for Day 3 is INR 22.60 crore and total box office collection is INR 59.25 crore. When it comes to opening weekends of 2017, Judwaa 2 is at the third position after Tubelight (INR 61.53 Crore) and Raees (INR 59.48 crore). Judwaa 2 is also the 19th highest opening weekend of all time.

Day 4 ie, Monday marks an advantage for Varun's movie as it is October 2 aka Gandhi Jayanti. 

Directed by David Dhawan, Judwaa 2 also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu and sees Varun in a twin avatar as Raja and Prem. The movie is a sequel to the 1997 comedy Judwaa which then starred Salman, Karisma Kapoor and Taapsee Pannu. Salman has a cameo in the movie as he reprises his iconic twin characters, Raja and Prem.

Recently, in an interview with a leading website, Varun revealed that the biggest challenge for him in Judwaa 2 was to make sure that he lives up to the expectations of Salman's fans. The actor stated, "It can be tricky with the film's original fan base. It’s all about getting it right. The other challenge was playing tapori in a contemporary way. Comparisons are obvious to happen, and the day I decided that we are going to completely reboot this film and bring it two decades later, I knew all this will happen."

"I knew one thing as an actor — this will result in an incredible amount of buzz which you can’t buy as it’s going to be organic. Both pressure and expectations will be there. But I am happy that there are expectations; if there were no expectations then that would have been a problem," Varun added.
