Mumbai: Mixed reviews aside, Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Dhadak’ seems to have set audiences’ hearts beating.

The Shashank Khaitan directorial has taken an impressive opening in the first weekend at the box office.

After getting off the mark with Rs 8.71 crores on Friday, the film grew by leaps and bounds and minted Rs 11.04 crores and 13.92 crores respectively on the next two days.

With the impressive run, the love story has crossed the 30-crore mark and now stands at Rs 33.67 crores.

The tally is the highest for a film featuring newcomers, beating another popular film, ‘Student of the Year’, which grossed Rs 28.5 crores way back in 2012.

The collections also asserts Karan Johar as the best brain at strategising the perfect way to launch newcomers, as he did as a director six years ago and as a producer this time around.

Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra attained overnight fame and are popular even in 2018, so can we say a similar journey beckons Janhvi  and Ishaan as well?
