After
a
slow
start
on
its
opening
day
at
the
box
office,
Rajkummar
Rao-Bhumi
Pednekar's
latest
release
Badhaai
Do
is
slowly
picking
up
business
and
has
managed
to
rake
in
a
good
weekend
collection.
With
its
hatke
subject
and
impressive
performances,
this
Harshavardhan
Kulkarni
director
is
slowly
attracting
the
audience
to
the
cinema
halls.
Speaking
about
its
performance
on
Day

of
its
release,
Badhaai
Do
registered
26.84
%
growth
in
his
collection
and
minted
Rs
3.45
crore
on
Sunday.
The
total
three-day

In

"Although

the

proves
that
*#Hindi

certainly
in
the
mood

Helmed
by
Harshavardhan
Kulkarni,
Badhaai
Do,
a
spiritual
successor
to
Badhaai
Ho,
revolves
around
a
gay
cop
(played
by
Rajkummar
Rao)
and
a
lesbian
physical
education
teacher
essayed
by
Bhumi
Pednekar
who
enter
into
a
lavender
marriage.
Speaking
about
casting
Rajkummar
and
Bhumi
in
his
film,
Harshavardhan
said
that
he
has
always
them
and
his
idea
was
"to
work
with
actors
who
are
passionate
and
their
craft
shows
that
passion."
He
was
also
all
praise
for
their
preparation
for
this
film.
Besides
Rajkummar
Rao
and
Bhumi
Pednekar,
Badhaai
Do
also
stars
newcomer
Chum
Darang,
Seema
Pahwa
and
features
Gulshan
Devaiah
in
an
extended
cameo.
