Since the time it’s trailer dropped, Ayushmann Khurrana’s Badhaai Ho managed to generate lot of buzz because of its unusual theme. The movie opened on a good note and garnered immense critical acclaim and positive word-of-mouth from the general audiences. But no one expected it to make money at the box office after Diwali. The failure of Thugs of Hindostan granted it a new lease of life.

Now, even after five-six weeks, Badhaai Ho refuses to slow down and is heading toward Rs 140 crore lifetime business. But beating Baahubali is something that even its producers would have never imagined.
