Ayushmann Khurrana has clearly carved his niche in Bollywood, and the best way to measure this is by the actor’s popularity and box office figures of his movies. While we say so the actor has ticked off both these criteria successfully. His last release Article 15 has slowly and steadily, impressed the audience and has managed to touch the Rs 50 cr mark. The film has minted Rs 50.83 cr within thirteen days of its release. The movie released on June 28, 2019; Ayushmann plays a cop who is jolted by the harsh reality of the society being discriminated on the basis of caste, creed and religion. Inspired by true happenings in society, it has got the masses thinking about this issue.
Confirming the box figure trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#Article15 crosses ₹ 50 cr mark... [Week 2] Fri 2.65 cr, Sat 4 cr, Sun 5.35 cr, Mon 2.02 cr, Tue 1.25 cr, Wed 1.35 cr [better than Tue]. Total: ₹ 50.83 cr.
