Ayushmann
Khurrana
is
known
for
having
a
knack
for
unconventional
scripts.
Adding
one
more
name
to
this
filmography
is
Anubhuti
Kashyap’s
directorial
debut
Doctor
G
which
released
in
cinema
halls
on
Friday
(October
14,
2022).
The
social
comedy
opened
to
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics.
Sans
any
heavy
promotions
and
buzz,
Doctor
G
started
its
journey
at
the
box
office
on
a
slow
note.
As
a
report
in
Sacnik,
the
Ayushmann
Khurrana-starrer
minted
around
Rs
2
Crore
on
its
first
day
of
release.

Speaking
about
what
drew
him
towards
the
film,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
earlier
told
ETimes
in
an
interview,
“Dr
Uday
Gupta’s
character
doesn’t
know
that
he
is
a
chauvinist
and
patriarchal
in
his
thinking.
It
is
more
dangerous
when
you
come
across
a
sweet,
harmless-looking
guy,
and
then
you
get
to
know
the
person
and
realise
that
he
is
a
typical
guy
–
and
by
that,
I
mean
he
is
a
chauvinist.
So,
it’s
not
a
black-and-white
character.
Dr
Uday
has
the
potential
to
become
a
nice
guy
or
someone
who
believes
in
gender
parity.
That’s
his
journey
in
the
film.
Unfortunately,
we
live
in
a
man’s
world,
and
more
films
and
art
forms
should
be
introduced
that
drive
this
message
forward.”
Doctor
G
has
Ayushmann
Khurrana
essaying
the
role
of
Dr
Uday
Gupta
who
reluctantly
seeks
admission
in
the
gynaecology
department
of
a
medical
college
in
Bhopal
only
to
discover
that
he
will
be
a
part
of
an
all-female
batch.
The
social
comedy
also
features
Rakul
Preet
Singh
and
Shefali
Shah
in
pivotal
roles.
Besides
Doctor
G,
Parineeti
Chopra’s
Code
Name:
Tiranga
also
hit
the
big
screens
on
October
14.
Going
by
the
early
buzz,
the
espionage
thriller
also
received
a
lackluster
response
and
collected
around
Rs
30
Lakhs
on
Day
1.
