With ₹ 84.25 crore in pockets, Badhaai Ho keeps soaring high at BO

Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra’s latest film Badhaai Ho, helmed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, has struck gold at the box-office. Made on a shoestring budget of ₹ 22 crore, including P&A, the family drama raked in ₹ 84.25 crore by the end of its second weekend.

Badhaai Ho rocked up ₹ 3.40 crore on its second Friday, followed by ₹ 6.60 crore on Saturday, and a whopping ₹ Rs 8.15 crore on Sunday, taking its weekend total to ₹ 18.15 crore, which is commendable for a film made on tight investments. After posting a total of ₹ 84.25 crore by the end of its second weekend, the movie is now gearing up fast to enter the coveted club of ₹ 100 crore.


The film is expected to pull in ₹ 100 crore even before entering the third weekend. After clocking ₹ 100 crore, Badhaai Ho will become actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s first film in the much sought-after club. It is his fourth consecutive success after Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017) and Andhadhun (2018).

Badhaai Ho had released alongside the Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor starrer Namaste England on 18th October. While the former has hit the jackpot at the ticket window, the latter could not scare up any moolah at the cash counter and has been ousted from all theatres across India.

Besides Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra, Badhaai Ho also stars Neena Gupta, Surekha Sikri and Gajraj Rao in prominent roles.

Shah Rukh Khan charges more than Salman Khan for concerts, says Australian event organisers

Bollywood actors have long been known to earn substantial fees for live performances and international events, particularly those aimed at the Indian diaspora. According to Australian event organisers Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa, some of the industry's biggest stars not only draw larger crowds abroad but also command higher fees than their contemporaries.

Speaking to YouTuber Siddharth Kannan, the organisers shed light on the dynamics of Bollywood celebrities performing in Australia. When asked which star between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan charges more for a live show in the country, they stated that Shah Rukh Khan is the higher-paid of the two. “The moment he spreads his arms, half the country’s population will just fall over,” they said, referring to Shah Rukh’s signature pose and immense popularity, especially among women. The organisers noted that the actor enjoys a strong female fan base in Australia, which significantly adds to his market value for such events.
