In Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan vs Bhoot Box Office Battle, Ayushmann Khurrana's Film Emerges Clear Winner

On February 21 two films by 2019's National Award-winning actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Vicky Kaushal opened at the box office. While Ayushmann's homosexual love story cum family drama Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan made quite a lot of buzz among the audiences, Vicky's horror flick Bhoot part One: The Haunted Ship saw a tough time at the ticket window.

Now, three days after its release, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan has zoomed past Bhoot at the box office and has collected almost double the amount of money as the latter.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Vicky and Bhumi Pednekar's Bhoot is struggling at the box-office. "#Bhoot struggles, doesn’t make the desired noise at ticket window...
