Varun Dhawan’s romcom ‘Judwaa 2’ starring Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu as the female leads, has got a thumbs up from the audience. The film directed by David Dhawan has collected around Rs 2.50 crore on its third Saturday, thus taking its total to around Rs 125.30 crore, as reported by Boxofficeindia.com. The film had collected approximately Rs 94.95 crore in its first week and around Rs 26.25 in its second week.The performance of the fun-loving film is expected to cross the collections of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’ to become the second highest Bollywood grosser of the year after Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar’s ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’. Varun has played a double role - Raja and Prem - for the first time in the film ‘Judwaa 2’, which is a reboot of Salman Khan’s 1997 flick ‘Judwaa’. The superstar also returns in a double role for a cameo in the film. While David Dhawan had stated that he loved some scenes from the original ‘Judwaa’ so much that he wanted to make a film on them, the two superhit numbers ‘Chalti hai kya 9 se 12’ and ‘Oonchi hai building 2.0’ have been reprised for the ‘sequel’. ‘Judwaa 2’ is the story of two separated twins Raja and Prem who are a class apart from each other but are brought together for a cause by fate. The film was majorly shot in London but the team headed to Mauritius to shoot the climax scene just like the original.
