Badhaai Do Day 2 Box Office Collection: Rajkummar Rao-Bhumi Pednekar's Film Picks Up Business

Rajkummar Rao-Bhumi Pednekar's latest outing Badhaai Do is the first Bollywood movie to release in cinema halls after the third wave of COVID-19 pandemic. Helmed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni, the romantic drama opened to mixed reviews with people praising the refreshing concept and Rajkummar and Bhumi's heartfelt performances.

However on the first day of its release, the film failed to lure a large crowd to the theatres. Badhaai Do recorded low numbers on Day 1 and raked in maximum numbers only from the multiplexes of Mumbai, Delhi and NCR regions. The Rajkummar Rao-Bhumi Pednekar starrer minted an opening collection of Rs 1.65 crore.

Speaking about its Day 2 collection, early trends suggest that Badhaai Do witnessed a jump in its box office collection and collected Rs 2.72 crore. The total box office collection now stands at Rs 4.37 crore.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#BadhaaiDo jumps on Day 2, which is a positive sign... Witnesses +64.85% growth... #Mumbai, #Delhi, #NCR continue to lead... Biz should grow further today [Day 3]... #ValentinesDay [Mon, Day 4] should also benefit... Fri 1.65 cr, Sat 2.72 cr. Total: ₹ 4.37 cr. #India biz."

Meanwhile post the release of Badhaai Do, Bhumi Pednekar took to her Instagram page to pen a sweet note in which she expressed her gratitude for all the love and appreciation that's coming her way for the role of Sumi.

The actress wrote, "What can I say, with all the love we're getting I am just speechless. I am so so grateful for this film to have come my way. I am so fortunate to have had a chance to work with the best best people. People I've found a family in.
