According to early estimates by Sacnilk, the film added Rs 4.70 crore to its tally on its first Monday, bringing its total collection to Rs 45 crore. While Sunday witnessed a robust earning of approximately Rs 15-16 crore, the subsequent Monday exhibited a significant decline.

In a press note, the makers said the film has turned out to be Ayushmann Khurrana’s "biggest opener till date", surpassing the opening day figure of his 2019 movie Bala which had earned Rs 10.15 crore.

"As an entertainer, it feels amazing to bring people to theatres and experience them having a great time. ‘Dream Girl 2’ is a film that delivers entertainment in spades. It has a big promise that people will laugh their hearts out and it is good to note that the film has lived up to the expectations to take this solid start at the counters," said Ayushmann Khurrana about the box office feat.
