Varun Dhawan-Taapsee Pannu-Jacqueline Fernandez starrer Judwa 2 has finally broken the spate of lukewarm Fridays that Bollywood has been witnessing for some time now. Be it SRK's Jab Harry Met Sejal or Kangana Ranaut's Simran, all big releases this year fell flat in front of the undiscriminating box office. However, David Dhawan's new offering that recreates Salman Khan's hijinks in the 90s comic movie, Judwaa, has taken over box office.Dhawan teams up with his son, Varun Dhawan, Pink star Taapsee Pannu and Jacqueline Fernandez for Judwaa 2.
As tweeted by trade analyst, Taran Adarsh, the movie has collected an impressive Rs 77.25 in four days.

The festive season, along with a long weekend could be one of the major reasons behind its collection. Adarsh mentioned that on its first day itself, the movie had collected more than Rs 16 crore.
