Meanwhile, the film enjoyed an overall occupancy of 12.01% in the Hindi market on August 31.

So far, Dream Girl 2 has managed to brave the strong Gadar 2 wave at the box office. Ayushmann and Ananya's film has an upheaval task ahead as superstar Shah Rukh Khan's action thriller Jawan will be released on September 7 amid rife anticipation.
