Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu, and Radhika Apte starrer Andhadhun is enjoying a dream at the Chinese box office. The film, which is directed by Sriram Raghavan, released in China on April 3 in more than 5000 screens and got off to a flying start. Despite coming out on a weekday, Andhadhun not only fared brilliantly on day 1 but it even surpassed the Rs 100 crore in just six days. Yes, you heard that right. And now the black comedy thriller has beaten Hollywood superhero film Shazam! at the Chinese box office as well. Guess Raghavan's directorial venture has literally set the box office on fire in China. Andhadhun China Box Office Collection: Ayushmann Khurrana and Tabu Starrer Enters the Coveted Rs 100 Crore Club
