Box Office Collection: Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhaan collects Rs 9.55 crore on the first day

Ayushmann Khurrana starrer comedy-drama Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan has received a good response on its opening day and minted Rs 9.55 crore. According to trade analysts, the comedy has performed the best in Punjab and Delhi NCR, followed by Mumbai. They further write that being a Khurrana-led film and the partial holiday of Maha Shivratri may have contributed to the earnings.

The film critic also compared the first-day collection of Ayushmann Khurrana's movies from 2017. The 2019 hit flick 'Bala' topped the chart with a collection of Rs 10.15



crores, followed by 'Dream Girl' that minted Rs 10.05 crores in the same year.

The 35-year-old actor's 2017 release 'Bareilly Ki Barfi' got the lowest first-day collection of Rs 2.42 crores.

'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan' is a light-hearted comedy that can be seen as a progressive attempt towards the acceptance of same-sex couples, an issue that continues to remain a taboo in India even after a year of its decriminalisation by the Supreme Court.

The romantic comedy flick hit the theatres on February 21.
