Ayushmann Khurrana got quite the birthday gift on Saturday. The actor’s latest release directed by Raaj Shandilya, Dream Girl, has earned ₹10.05 crore on the opening day, which is the highest ever for him.

As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Dream Girl’s box office collection is ₹10.05 crore, which broke the opening records of films such as Chhichore starring Sushant Singh Rajput, Kartik Aaryan’s Luka Chuppi, Uri - The Surgical Strike and De De Pyaar De. Dream Girl got excellent reception in Delhi-NCR and the northern market, a Box Office India report said.

He also shared the opening day box office collection of Ayushmann’s films. “Ayushmann Khurrana versus Ayushmann Khurrana... *Day 1* biz... 2019: #DreamGirl ₹ 10.05 cr, 2018: #BadhaaiHo ₹ 7.35 cr [Thu; #Dussehra], 2019: #Article15 ₹ 5.02 cr, 2017: #ShubhMangalSaavdhan ₹ 2.71 cr, 2018: #AndhaDhun ₹ 2.70 cr, 2017: #BareillyKiBarfi ₹ 2.42 cr. #India biz.”

Meanwhile, Chhichhore -- directed by Nitesh Tiwari and with Shraddha Kapoor in the lead -- is showing no signs of slowing down.

Buoyed by excellent word-of-mouth, the film showed a slight drop from Thursday, which was a holiday in some parts due to Ganesh Visarjan festivities.
