Dream Girl Vs Section 375: Who Is Ruling the Box Office?

Releasing after Sushant Singh Rajput starrer Chhichhore, both Dream Girl and Section 375 failed to bring in the numbers on the first day. According to a report, Dream Girl managed to fill only 15% of all the morning shows. However, it is Ayushmann Khurrana’s largest opening in Bollywood, overtaking films like Uri and Luka Chuppi. On the other hand, Section 375 could only fill ten per cent. Both films, despite the unexpected responses on Friday morning, doubled their numbers over the weekend.
