The Raaj Shaandilyaa-directed social comedy-drama has maintained a decent business at the Indian box office. The film opened to ₹10.69 crore and saw an increase in business in the days that followed. After a brief decline, the business picked up again owing to the Raksha Bandhan holidays. In the second week of its theatrical run, the Ayushmann Khurrana starter continues to draw audiences to theatres.

11 days after its theatrical run, the Ananya Panday film has amassed a total of ₹91.96 crore. The film is just a few crores away from breaching the ₹100 crore mark. However, the movie will have to deter competition with Atlee-directed Jawan releasing on September 7 and Sunny Deol starrer Gadar 2, which continues to dominate the box office and has made ₹506.27 crore at the domestic box office. 

Dream Girl 2 performs well overseas 

While the film’s domestic business has seen both good and bad days, the worldwide collection paints a pretty picture. In just nine days of theatrical run, the film hit a century in worldwide gross collections. As per Sacnilk, Dream Girl 2 is the fifth movie of Ayushmann Khurrana to enter 100 crores worldwide gross club, and the first since Bala (2019).
