Yaariyan 2

Directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, Yaariyan 2 is a romantic drama movie in hindi language that is based on the life of youngsters. The previous movie in the series was Yaariyan, released in 2014.The lead actors in the last movie were Divya Khosla Kumr, Yash Dasgupta, Peral V Puri and several other aspiring stars from the Bollywood industry. The lead roles in Yaariyan 2 are Laadli Chibber, Bajrang Das Khatri, and Shikhar Randhawa, around whom the whole movie revolves. This movie is all about their lives and relationship with ups and down like any young teenager.

Yaariyan 2 Box Office Collection

Yaariyan 2 movie was released in theaters on October 20, 2023.

The film had huge expectations riding on it, especially since it is a sequel to the commercially successful Yaariyan. However, the film has unfortunately witnessed an underwhelming response at the box office so far. On the other hand, a similar movie Tu Jhoothi Mai Makkaar , released this year made a gross total box office collection of 220.1 crore worldwide.

Day 1 and Day 2

On its opening day, Yaariyan 2 box office collection was only around Rs 60 lakh. The numbers were expected to pick up over the weekend with young audiences coming to watch the film. But that did not happen as Yaariyan 2 collected just Rs 55 lakh on its second day, taking its total to Rs 1.15 crore in two days. Clearly, the film has struggled to even cross the Rs 1 crore mark which is way below expectations.

Reasons for low collection

The main reasons attributed to the poor box office performance are – lack of buzz prior to release, average music and some critics pointing out the bloated length of the film. The lead pair of Divya Khosla Kumar and Meezaan Jafri also don’t have very strong box office appeal.

It remains to be seen if Yaariyan 2 can recover and post decent numbers in its first week. But the current trend indicates that the film will end up as a box office dud and won’t come anywhere close to matching the commercial success of the first part. The lifetime collections of Yaariyan 2 are likely to remain under Rs 10 crore based on its lackluster opening.
