Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha's first collaboration with Ayushmann Khurrana has turned out to be quite successful at the Indian box office. Their film Article 15 is going rock steady at the ticket windows despite the whole the nation being gripped by the Kabir Singh mania. The crime drama arrived in theatres last week and immediately got off to a good start at the box office. The fact that the film opened to rave reviews from the critics further helped in giving the collections a boost. Article 15 is set to complete a week in theatres and so far it has raked in Rs 31.16 crore at the domestic box office. Article 15 Box Office Collection Day 5: Ayushmann Khurrana's Film Trends Well on Tuesday Despite India's World Cup Match, Rakes in Rs 27.68 Crore

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the popular microblogging site Twitter a while back and revealed the updated figures saying, "#Article15 is rock-steady... Fri 5.02 cr, Sat 7.25 cr, Sun 7.77 cr, Mon 3.97 cr, Tue 3.67 cr, Wed 3.48 cr. Total: ₹ 31.16 cr. India biz."

Interestingly, as per Boxofficeindia.com, Ayushmann starrer is heading towards the 'HIT' film status. Pointing out the same, the trade portal has reported, " Article 15 may well emerge a HIT film as collections are very steady on the weekdays. The big test is to come as to whether it can continue to hold but at the moment it does look the film can hit the 60 crore nett mark or even higher."

"Whatever social message the film has tried to give has not worked as its the case with all these films as they hardly have a reach and don't find much of an audience outside urban centers. But it will be a good money spinner for the makers on the strength of business in the big metros." Article 15 Box Office Collection Day 4: Ayushmann Khurrana's Crime Drama Passes the Crucial Monday Test, Rakes in Rs 24.01 Crore

Well, if Article 15 does turn out to be a profitable venture than it will be Khurrana's hattrick at the box office as his last two releases - Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho - were also super hit.
