Bhediya BO Day 2: Drishyam 2 Effect Continues As Varun Dhawan’s Horror Comedy Slight Growth; Earns Rs 9.50 cr

Varun
Dhawan
and
Kriti
Sanon
starrer
Bhediya
has
been
one
of
the
most
anticipated
releases
of
the
year.
Helmed
by
Amar
Kaushik,
the
horror
comedy
revolves
around
a
young
guy
who
was
bitten
by
a
wolf
which
leads
to
his
transformation
into
a
shape-shifting
werewolf.
The
movie
has
opened
to
decent
reviews
from
the
audience
and
has
managed
to
create
much
hype
among
the
audience.
However,
it
seems
to
be
struggling
at
the
box
office
as
Ajay
Devgn’s
recent
release
Drishyam
2
has
been
giving
it
tough
competition.

To
note,
Bhediya
has
witnessed
an
underwhelming
response
at
the
box
office
on
the
first
day
and
made
a
collection
of
Rs
7.48
crore.
Taking

Twitter,

“#Bhediya
opens

And
as
Drishyam
2
continues
to
rule
the
box
office,
Bhediya
is
gradually
picking
up
pace
despite
tough
competition.
According
to
a
report
published
in
Box
Office
India,
Bhediya
has
shown
decent
growth
on
Saturday
of
around
35-40%
as
it
collected
in
the
9.25-9.50
crore
nett
range.
This
takes
the
two
days
collection
of
Bhediya
between
Rs
15.50-15.75
crore
nett.
It
is
reported
that
Bhediya
will
remain
in
the
race
if
it
will
see
another
decent
jump
in
collections
on
Sunday.

On
the
other
hand,
Drishyam
2
has
witnessed
a
blockbuster
second
Saturday
as
it’s
looking
at
growth
in
the
80-90%
range.
The
crime
thriller
earned
Rs
14
crore
and
is
expected
to
cross
Rs
200
crore
mark
soon.
With
such
an
intense
competition
from
Ajay
Devgn’s
Drishyam
2,
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
if
Varun
Dhawan
and
Kriti
Sanon’s
Bhediya
will
manage
to
rake
in
a
good
amount
in
the
coming
days.

Meanwhile,
after
the
release
of
Bhediya,
Varun
will
now
be
seen
in
Nitesh
Tiwari’s
directorial
Bawaal
with
Janhvi
Kapoor.
On
the
other
hand,
Kriti
Sanon
also
has
some
interesting
projects
in
the
kitty
including
Shehzada
with
Kartik
Aaryan,
Adipurush
with
Prabhas
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Tiger
Shroff
starrer
