Here's why Badrinath Ki Dulhania is special for Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan are really happy with the kind of response Badrinath Ki Dulhania is getting and here's what the duo has to say about it

Actor Varun Dhawan says his latest release Badrinath Ki Dulhania should not be seen as a time pass film. It’s not a time pass film. It has a message in it and the best part is that people have understood the message. Critics have liked the film and even the audience is liking it, Varun told reporters here last night.

The 29-year-old actor says he did not expect many people would go for the romcom drama as it is exam time and end of financial year. But people are going and watching it and it feels very nice. I am happy that the film is doing well, he says.

Released on March 10, the film did a business of Rs 12.25 crore on Friday and Rs 14.75 crore on Saturday, minting a total of Rs 27 crore so far at the box office. The film has also made its place amongst top three biggest opener films of 2017 after Raees and Jolly LLB 2.

I will not talk about figures as for me it means (that) people are going to theatres and watching the film. I am not that concerned about Rs 100 crore or Rs 200 crore club I am here to entertain people. Varun was talking on the sidelines of an award function here last night where his Badrinath Ki Dulhania co-star Alia Bhatt was also present.

Alia told reporters that she was happy to see the kind of love coming her way for her performance in Badrinath Ki Dulhania. The 23-year-old star also says she was excited to meet children of her mentor Karan Johar, who became a father of twins through surrogacy last week.

Helmed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Dharma Productions, the film is a rom-com and is a love story of Badri and Vaidehi. The songs and Alia-Varun’s chemistry are the USP of Badrinath Ki Dulhania.
