Varun's film is now the fourth highest grosser of the year. Judwaa 2 happens to be a sequel to 1997 blockbuster starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor and South actress Rambha in pivotal roles. Interestingly, both the films are helmed by David Dhawan.

Although the critics gave it a mixed response, looks like Varun fans have already given a thumbs up to the flick. The business during Dussehra weekend will boost the figures and remains crucial.
