Audiences have given a big thumbs-up to the film and have whole-heartedly accepted it with open arms. On the other hand, Sonakshi Sinha-Diljit Dosanjh starrer comedy film ‘Welcome To New York’ showed no growth with three day total collection of Rs 2.10 crore only. The film also stars Karan Johar and Ritesh Deshmukh.

Actor Kartik Aaryan began his career in Bollywood with the 2011 romantic comedy ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ (PKP), and since then, he has done five films, all of which have been about love and relationships. Though his movies didn’t bring in much of the numbers but he has been loved by masses in the same genre.
