Adding to that, he again tweeted the year’s top 5 films with big openings.
Year 2017 has not brought much good for the Hindi film industry but ‘Judwaa 2’ brought some relief for Bollywood. Only few film has managed to earn big and some of the movies with even big names in the starcast has failed miserably at the box-office including Tubelight, Jab Harry met Sejal and many more.
Some of the movies that has entered in the 100-crore club are Baahubali 2, Raees, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Kaabil, Tubelight, Jolly LLB and Badrinath Ki Dulhania.
It will be interesting to see whether Varun Dhawan starrer will manage to perform well throughout the weekend and first week and become 8th film of the year to enter in the 100-crore club.
