The kind of loyal audience base that Ayushmann Khurrana has built over the past few years is unheard of even for actors twice his experience in Bollywood. Look at his filmography, and you will find a diverse range of characters that get etched on your mind forever if you happen to see them once.
In 2018, Khurrana impressed everyone with his incredible performances in such box-office hits as Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho. Continuing his winning streak in 2019 also, the talented actor has won audiences’ hearts with his power-packed performance in his latest release Article 15. Directed by renowned filmmaker, Anubhav Sinha, the social drama film is driving audiences to cinemas in hoards.
Released on 28th June, Article 15 features Ayushmann Khurrana in the role of an IPS officer who sets out to ensure justice to the families of two minor raped and murdered girls in a village in Uttar Pradesh. The film received excellent response from critics. Though the movie registered low occupancy in morning shows, it witnessed an increase in the number of footfalls in the evening and night shows. Resultantly, Article 15 successfully garnered ₹ 5.02 crores on its opening day.
By the end of its first day, word of mouth had come into play in a big way which resulted in a massive spike in collections on the second day at the box-office. Yesterday, Article 15 raked in ₹ 7.25 crore at the domestic box-office, taking its two-day total to ₹ 12.27 crores. The movie has managed to get these impressive numbers even in the presence of tough competition from Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh (2019), which is aiming to cross the ₹ 200 crore mark soon. Solid numbers are expected on Sunday.
