Abhishek Pathak’s crime thriller Drishyam 2 has entered its second week at the ticket windows after creating a storm at the box office since its release. The film has become the first choice for all the cinemagoers even after Bhediya’s release last week.

Drishyam 2 remains unstoppable as it earned Rs 5.15 crore on Tuesday, which is almost the same as Monday’s figures, thereby taking its total to Rs 154.49 crore net. The film is doing great business in Mumbai and Gujarat, which has helped propel the figures to over Rs 150 crore mark.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the latest box office figures of the movie and tweeted, “#Drishyam2 is displaying strong legs at the #BO… Should hit ₹ 175 cr in *Weekend 3*, while the DOUBLE CENTURY should happen in *Week 3* [weekdays] or *Weekend 4*… [Week 2] Fri 7.87 cr, Sat 14.05 cr, Sun 17.32 cr, Mon 5.44 cr, Tue 5.15 cr. Total: ₹ 154.49 cr. #India biz

Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya is performing decently as well, thanks to a steady Tuesday. The creature comedy minted in the range of Rs 3-3.25 crore, reported Box Office India, which takes its total around Rs 36 crore.

Bhediya’s case at the box office would have been a stronger one had it earned well on its first Monday.

Recently, both Ajay and Varun took to social media to congratulate each other as they learned that their movies have been doing a good business at the box office. Varun took a selfie with fans and tweeted the image writing, “#Bhediya has given me so much love it feels amazing to to see Soo many people coming to the theatres . A special Sunday as #Dhrishyam2 and #Bhediya give a lot of happiness to all cinema lovers congratulations @ajaydevgn sir and @AbhishekPathak.” The action star responded to the post and wrote back, “I’m happy Bhediya & Drishyam 2 have managed to bring the audiences back to the theatres. It’s a feel good moment for us as an Industry. You’re a rockstar.”
