But, Badhai Do is probably not the first movie to deliver such a concept. Kapoor & Sons, Dostana, Sadak, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. Ragini MMS 2, Girlfriend, Fire with strong LGBTQ+ themes managed to make their place at the box office along with their collections and verdicts.

‘Badhaai Do’is springing one surprise after another at the box office. Following an expected lukewarm opening, the Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar starrer, directed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni, registered unexpectedly healthy growth on both Saturday and Sunday to post a first weekend total at the box office that neither anybody in the trade nor even the most optimistic individual from the movie's team itself would've predicted.
