Update: Any Body Can Dance 2 has collected Rs 14.3 crore on Friday, Day 1 at the domestic box office.
ABCD 2 has recorded the highest opening day collections of 2015, ahead of films like ‘Gabbar Is Back’, ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, ‘Roy’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’. The All-India collections are also higher than Hollywood films like ‘Fast and Furious 7’ and ‘Avengers – Age of Ultron’.
As per early estimates based on collections from a couple of circuits, ABCD 2 has collected Rs 13.5 – 14 crore on Day 1. When the final collections come in, the figures could be closer to the 15 crore mark. The collections of the film were outstanding even though business in Mumbai was affected by torrential rains throughout the day.
The first day box office collections of ABCD 2 is also the highest opening for a film starring Varun Dhawan and the second highest opener for Shraddha Kapoor after ‘Ek Villain’. With rains affecting major circuits like Mumbai and Mysore, ABCD 2 would have probably beaten the first day business of ‘Ek Villain’.
Overall, the film is set to be the second major hit of the year after ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’. The first weekend business should be around 46-47 crore mark. It could touch the 50 crore mark if rain subsides on Saturday and Sunday.
From a potential future superstar, Varun Dhawan has firmly established himself as one of the most bankable young stars in the country. Even in 2014, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania released during the Ramadan period and rains affected the business too. Yet the film not only opened well at around the 9 crore mark, but went on to do business of more than 80 crore.
But the Friday collections of ABCD2 has pushed him close to Ranbir Kapoor. He has a mega release like ‘Dilwale’ lined up for release later this year and that film will help him reach out to audience in smaller towns, due to Shah Rukh Khan’s presence.

Expecting Varunwale to earn 100cr beating MNIKs crappy 5 yr old record now due to varuns starpwer so that should help him join top 5 moving past RK
Well done Varun. 5 successful films and walking away with the credit for most of them. Very impressive :)
Sid and varun are the only two young star who can bring audience s on their own! The next big thing
Sid n varun are d only two young stars who can bring audiences on their own! The next big thing!
Now even Varun overtake akki(the ultimate 80cr superstar)
After Christmas he is next to khan’s only
Abcd2 got excellent start due shraddha kapoor star power!!!
@indicine Your prediction of 93cr seems correct! BRAVO!!!
He Is next Super star wow wow wow Varun back to back all film Success I think first 100cr…congrats Varun
ABCD2 are only watched by peoples who don’t give a shit about story, acting they just go to watch dance. Well I think I’ve to speak up the ugly truth “The movie absolutely sucks”. Remo is a good choreographer so he should stop wasting his money and stop wasting people’s time, this movie is 2 hours 34 minutes in which I would’ve watched 2 Hollywood movies. Just one advice for varun and shraddha stop doing shit movies you’re a good young talent use it good !
Now some ratard sarook fans will come and say that, Varun involved in Dilwaale, that’s why his film got biggest opening! As Varun’s last film collected 8cr on opening day. Poor sarook film Dilwaale will get good opening only because of Varun Dhawan. Now Varun is the only attraction for Dilwaale.
Varun is bigger star than Akki the flop 80cr star.Fact#
wow shudhdhi will be huge go varun go
Varun dhawan rocks, shraddha was also responsible for the start. As per boi abcd2 was always suppose to take good opening but if it open well in delhi-up, east Punjab and rajasthan than credit should go to varun as promo wasn’t recd well and songs were not popular much. With adult content he opened close to 7 crore with badlapur and now 14 cr abcd2, this guy is born superstar a mixture if govinda and salman.
Thanks to varun some certain small actor will benefit this christmas. i hope people understand whom i am referring to.
@Javed ab aaya na aukkat pe. ha ha ha. finally the camel came down the mountain. so indirectly you accepted that varun will be the real hero of dilwaale and he will be the reason for big opening of dilwaale and make it hit. ha ha ha. too much fun. your own stupidity finally accepted that srk needs varun for dilwaale.
Really hard times for akkifans as me.Every star says they dont care about box office,but actually they do care about b.o.On the contrary,when akki says he doesnt care about bo he really means it and this is his problem,he is honest and wants to help small production houses by doing more and more films for them and herein lies the reason of not giving bigger opening day collection or big grossers.Thats why accept it or not,kangana or varun are surpassing him.Still i am an akkifan,i believe brothers will change his fate.
No matter what aamir and salman’s records and achievements can never be achieved by anyone in indian cinema. they are the only 2 real superstars who have real stardom and real success. aamir’s record of being consistent in giving classic and quality movies can never be broken and also giving 4 all time blockbusters back to back and highest grossers of all time can not be broken and salman’s record of 5 back to back blockbusters in a row and most bumber of blockbusters can never be broken. no body cares about 11 or 15 consistent small tiny hits.
@thullu this floppy is a begger of Mumbai.That’s why he just talks about begging
Waiting for Ajinkya’s comment ??
Where are varun haters who were saying this movie will be a flop?? So many are charmeleon here
now this is it
varun is huge but it was a dance film so that also helped
but in any case 15 cr opening on normal day proves his stardom
media created stars like arjun kapoor etc have never got to see this in their entire life
with partial holiday and more screens ,our mahanayak aksay again lose the game with kal ka launda varun lol 14 crrs is boi colliction ,no manipulation hats off to varun ..u r the next super star ,if there was no ramadan & rain in mumbai abcd2 defntly would touch 20 crrsi smell that after Dilwale varun will be miles ahead of our super ishtaar aksay .
Shradha is good it will go donw of bussiness today
Its huge..never in ma dreams i expected this film to have a opening like this.
Bdw its wrong to compare varun wid akshay
He just started n akshay is here from the past 25 years.if varun will sustain foh the next 20 years den probably we can compare him wid akshay. Imran khan too gave hits in his career..but look where he is now??
hey friends! look at some losers comments. they bring akki in to every topic. if they really believed that akki not a king . than why they are so scared of him. i have the answer. those losers know the power of akki’s punch.
Look at morons full of hate for akki, where were you when badlapur opening was half of Gabbar. Shut up if @idicine were sincere and not akki hatter’s they will have reminded you the films sequel factor, but they can always remind you one holiday in mahrastara where marathi film released.We will see when akki rises from these hate from all corners of indian media.
But salman fans are amusing the leen period of akshay is still respectable, but don’t forget your star’s bad face when his films lifetime business were not equal the first day businesses of akki films. post if you have guts.
@javed ! I think akki has done something very bad to you or your family member, that’s way you hate him that much. i hope you understand what i mean by family member>
Some flopkumar fans are saying that why
I hate him … here are some reasons!
* 1st – he clashed his crap movie with ce .
* 2nd- most of stupid fans talk nonsense
and support aamir and sallu fans. .
* while I appreciated brothers trailer and
had had a sense of respect for him
but his fans made me do the vice versa!
Now I hope u have understood what I said
those who do a small badness with srk
then I am going to hate that person like
no one! Always remember it .
@Flopshay kumar! I think akki has done something unusual to you or your family member. i hope understand what i mean by family member
@ARJUN YOUNGISTAN FAN..
sry bro.. was .bit hard on u ….
but congrats for ABCD sucess….
