Bala will be Ayushmann Khurrana's third film to cross the Rs 100-crore mark. His earlier two films, Dream Girl and Badhaai Ho, also fall in the Rs 100 crore club. Till now, Dream Girl is the highest grosser in Ayushmann's career. His critically acclaimed film Andhadhun, for which the actor received the Best Actor National Award this year, is not a part of the Rs 100 crore club.

BALA MOVIE REVIEW:

Apart from Ayushmann, Bhumi and Yami, Bala boasts of acclaimed actors like Saurabh Shukla, Sunila Rajwar, Abhishek Banerjee and Jaaved Jaaferi, among others. The film not only talks about the standards of beauty set for men but also explores the experiences women with dark skin go through. Apart from great performances, intelligent and crisp writing by Niran Bhatt helped Bala sail through.

Currently, Bala is competing with Milap Zaveri's Marjaavaan at the box office. The film stars Sidharth Malhotra, Tara Sutaria and Riteish Deshmukh. Rakul Preet Singh is seen in an extended cameo. The film is doing decent business at the box office and is no threat to Ayushmann's hilarious film Bala.
