Article 15 Box Office Collection Day 3: Ayushmann Khurrana's Latest Offering Does Well Over the Opening Weekend, Earns Rs 20.04 Crore
After faring well on Saturday, Ayushmann's Article 15 held up well on Sunday too and has even surpassed the opening weekend collection of Andhadhun which is mighty impressive. Based on Article 15 of the Indian Constitution, the film also stars Isha Talwar, Sayani Gupta, Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa and Sumbul Touqeer.
After delivering two back to back hits last year in the form of Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho, Ayushmann Khurrana's successful run at the box office seems to be continuing this year as well. The talented actor has kicked off 2019 on a good note with his newest release Article 15. The crime drama directed by Anubhav Sinha released on Friday and opened to rave reviews from the critics. No wonder, the film took a pretty good opening at the ticket windows as it raked in Rs 5.02 crore on day 1. On Saturday, the film witnessed decent growth and the scenario was the same on Sunday as well.

Comparing the opening weekend figures to his earlier releases, Adarsh tweeted, "Ayushmann Khurrana versus Ayushmann Khurrana... *Opening Weekend* biz.... 2018: #BadhaaiHo ₹ 45.70 cr [extended 4-day weekend], 2019: #Article15 ₹ 20.04 cr, 2018: #AndhaDhun ₹ 15 cr, 2017: #ShubhMangalSaavdhan ₹ 14.46 cr, 2017: #BareillyKiBarfi ₹ 11.52 cr India biz."

With a series of hits under his belt and terrific performances to his credit, Ayushmann is undoubtedly one of the most successful actors of recent times. Coming back to his film Article 15, though the movie is facing stiff competition from Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh, for now, Sinha's directorial venture is placed well at the box office and will continue to pull in the crowd to the cinema halls courtesy its taut storytelling and Khurrana's dumdaar act.
