The final shooting schedule of Dharma Productions’ ‘Bardinath Ki Dulhania’ has been wrapped up. The film, starring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt in the lead, was on floors for 59 days and the cost-of-production is around ? 35 crore.
It was filmed across various parts of country, with one schedule taking place in Singapore. One promotional song is yet to be shot.
Directed by Shashank Khaitan, ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ also features Gauahar Khan and Sahil Vaid. The film releases in theatres on March 10 2017, which will give it an extended 4-day Holi weekend at the box office.
‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ is the second part in the ‘Dulhania’ series of films. The first film, ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ collected 77 crore and was declared a box office super-hit.
It’ll be Varun Dhawan’s first release of 2017. He’d be hoping to continue his ‘success streak’ which has now stretched to 7 films. Alia Bhatt had a terrific year at the box office too, she was seen in three films (Kapoor and Sons, Udta Punjab, Dear Zindagi), all of which did well at the ticket window.

Impressed by your hard work to show how Bhai’s movies were vastly different from masala movies. BTW applying your logic ADHM does not belong to rom-com genre. it should be rom-tragedy if you have seen it and “different” from typical rom-com genre. Some will say BBD’s concept was novel and is also “different” from typical rom-com just like Bhai movies were “different” from masala movies. Fact is starting right from Wanted till Kick almost all Bhai movies are masala movies till he rightly realized that audience are bored with masala movie overdose as every other star started doing it and he intelligently made a shift towards BB, PRDP, Sultan. Just like Salman remains in his comfort zone and does not take big risks, same way Dharma/YRF also remain in their comfort zone. Both sticking to the formula in which they have found success and not experimenting and taking bigger risks which makes sense business wise also.
You have to understand bitter reality that no 1 is here for “growth of bollywood”. It is all just talk. If producer thinks his shitty rom-com ADHM will make money for him (check its overseas biz also) he will make it. We will keep seeing shitty movies Dabang 2/Bodyguard and ADHM/Humpty (in my view they are shitty in their own genres) till the time they make money for producers. Like it or not. It makes sense biz wise. I too want YRF to make movies like Baahubali instead of typical rom-coms but I know the risk involved too. It is an emotional call when we say make a Baahubali movie knowing after what happened to Ra 1, Blue, Brother, Mohenjodaro, Shivaay. Big projects which failed. Are there more success stories like Baahubali or failures like Blue, Ra1 in Bollywood? The same guys who want Bollywood to make a Baahubali are the first ones to trash and ridicule Blue, Ra 1, Shivaay if the execution goes wrong. Failures like these are relished and enjoyed by many. You have to put yourself in the shoes of a producer or even Salman also to see how much risk you are willing to take for “growth of bollywood”. Most prefer to play safe in their comfort zones and I would not blame them.
