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.
SECTION 375
After earning just ₹ 1.45 crores on Friday, Ajay Bahl’s Section 375, the overall occupancy increased on Saturday. Added to earnings on Saturday, the film was at ₹ 4.52 crores. According to trade analysts, word-of-mouth has helped the film gain attention. On the third day, the film’s collection went up by two crores, giving a total of around seven crores. With Ayushmann Khurrana’s Dream Girl as its competition, we could say that this Akshaye Khanna and Richa Chadda starrer has managed to hold on by its own.

Nearly doubling the collections, Dream Girl brought in seventeen crores on Saturday. On Sunday, the movie crossed the twenty crore mark as well. By the weekend, the total collection of the film was around ₹ 46 crores.
