What KJo Posted As Fans Danced To Badtameez Dil In Theatres

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani sold 65,000 tickets and added another ₹1.20 crore from its reopening day collection to its overall gross of ₹188.57 crore in India and ₹318 crore worldwide. In the process, it has secured the second best opening for a re-released film, after Rahi Anil Bharve's 2018 folk horror flick Tumbbad, which made history last year by earning ₹1.50 crore on its opening day of re-release.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewai has surpassed other films re-released last year if opening numbers are anything to go by. It's far ahead of Sajid Ali's 2018 romantic drama Laila Majnu ( ₹30 lakh), Rakesh Roshan's 1995 reincarnation saga Karan Arjun ( ₹25 lakh), Yash Chopra's 2004 cross-border romance Veer-Zaara ( ₹20 lakh), and Nikkhil Advani's 2003 romantic comedy Kal Ho Naa Ho ( ₹12 lakh).

Karan Johar, who produced Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani under his banner of Dharma Productions, took to his Instagram Story to share a video of the theatre audience coming to the front and dancing on the popular track Badtameez Dil to their heart's content. He wrote along with it, “Converting cinemas into rock concerts! YJHD is back in theatres!”
