Ayushmann Khurrana's Bala is still going strong at the theatres. In fact, it is so strong at the box office that it will put the new release to shame. We told you as per early estimates, Marjaavaan scored the same number as the first day and Bala doubled its collection of Day 8. In nine days, the film has collected Rs 82.73 crore. On Day 8, it had earned Rs 3.76 crore while on the second Saturday, the film brought in a whopping Rs 6.73 crore. Clearly, the audience is preferring Ayushmann's hairy woes over Sidharth's life issues. Bala Box Office: 5 Reasons Why Ayushmann Khurrana’s Film Made a Bigger Impact Than Sunny Singh’s Ujda Chaman

Bala has been doing exceptionally well since its release. A Rs 10.15 crore first day number is simply fascinating for a film of such a scale. It also helped that the film got really good number of screens. But getting such a score on its second Saturday proves that if the film clicks with the audience, it will make money irrespective of how many theatres it is playing at.

Sunday is expected to add a similar number to its kitty which will take it a lot closer to the Rs 100 crore mark. His last film Dream Girl too had touched this coveted mark and now this. Ayushmann is on a roll and we are glad.
