‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ holds stable at the box office on day 5

Ayushmann Khurrana, Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao-starrer ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ has managed to score well at the box office. The film that had a slow start at the box office has went on to become one of the most successful films of this year. On its first Tuesday, it managed to mint approximately Rs 1.95 crore at the box office. It followed the trend of first Monday collection and rather showed a slight jump in the box office numbers. On Monday, the film had collected Rs 1.85 crore approximately at the box office.

The grand total of ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ stands at Rs 15.05 crore approximately. The collection may not be great but it is better than most of the films that have released this year. Looks like positive word of mouth and good reviews by the critics worked in the favour of this film. Also, this sweet film had an advantage of being a solo release. No other film clashed with this light romantic comedy directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. (Also Read: Bareilly Ki Barfi Movie Review: A delicious slice of life)

On the other hand, Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar’s ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ is still going strong in the theatres. On its second Tuesday, this film managed to mint approximately Rs 2.60 crore at the box office. The total collection of ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ after two weeks stands at Rs 118. 26 crore at the box office. This one surely is an hit despite receiving mixed reviews from the critics.

This Friday we have three films making it to the theatres. Aadar Jain and Anya Singh’s debut vehicle ‘Qaidi Band’, Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez’s ‘A Gentleman’ and Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Bidita Bag’s ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’, which would be clashing with each other at the box office. Let’s see who takes the cake out of these three. Or will ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ and ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ continue to rule?
