Judwaa 2: Varun Dhawan starrer may emerge as highest grosser after Baahubali: The Conclusion

Mumbai: 2017 hasn’t been all that great for Bollywood. Apart from a handful of films, the Bollywood Box Office hasn’t seen much business happening. Even Salman Khan’s over hyped film – Tubelight – proved to be a dud besides Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Harry Met Sejal.

Apart from the Hindi version of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Conclusion starring Prabhas, no other star’s film has succeeded in raking in the moolah. Surprisingly, small budget films like Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Savdhan fared better at the BO. Even Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha left an indelible mark.

And now Varun Dhawan’s Judwaa 2, remake of Salman starrer 1997 blockbuster Judwaa has been able to draw audiences to the theatres. The film has minted over Rs 125 crore so far and may continue to do brisk business until Diwali, when Ajay Devgn’s Golmaal Again is slated to hit the silver screen.

Noted trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the latest BO collections figures. He tweeted:
