Dream Girl box office collection day 1: Ayushmann Khurrana starrer takes heroic start, becomes actor's biggest opener

Dream Girl box office collection day 1: Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Dream Girl has got off to a heroic start at the box office, becoming actor's biggest opener till date with a collection of Rs 10.05 crore on day 1. The film has beaten Ayushmann's other recent releases like Badhaai Ho and Article 15. The collections remained on the higher side despite last week's release Chhichhore's dominant performance at the box office. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles, Chhichhore continues to do well even in its second weekend.

Meanwhile, Dream Girl has also beaten several mid-range films like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Luka Chuppi when it comes to its first day collections. "#DreamGirl takes a heroic start...
